im_linceon Code review can be better

Totally agree with this. Code review is quickly becoming the most important skill for engineers in the AI era. Tools can generate solid code, but judgment, context, and maintainability come from humans. That’s exactly why we built LiveReview(https://hexmos.com/livereview/) — to help teams get better at reviewing and learning from code they didn’t write.

im_linceon Code review can be better

This hits home. I’ve run into the same pain with conventional web-based review tools: slow, nitpicky, and nobody really “owns” the merge. Your kernel-style approach makes a ton of sense — putting the reviewer on the hook changes the dynamic completely. And pushing FIXMEs straight into the branch instead of playing comment-ping-pong? That’s a huge quality-of-life win.

We’ve gone a slightly different route at my team. Instead of reinventing the workflow around Gitolite/IntelliJ, we layered in LiveReview(https://hexmos.com/livereview/). It’s not as hardcore, but it gives us a similar payoff: reviewers spend less time on drudge work because LiveReview auto-catches a ton of the small stuff (we’re seeing ~40% fewer prod bugs). That leaves humans free to focus on the bigger design and ownership questions — the stuff machines can’t solve.

Different tools, same philosophy: make review faster, saner, and more about code quality than bureaucracy.

Cool, i will check out the notion list. Plus, I have one more question: how can I structure the code properly? For example, if I have custom UI components, state management, page layout, types, etc., how do I organize this in a proper structure? for example, checkout folder structure of this project: https://github.com/firecamp-dev/firecamp/tree/main/packages
