Continuous code review Cross-training
Building empathy Well factored code Fewer
bugs More maintainable code Lower lottery-
count No asynchronous code reviews Fast on-
boarding Less rework More focus Fewer
distractions More accurate implementation of
business requirements Lower bus-count Done
might really mean done Enables rotation among
teams Old dogs learn new tricks New dogs
learn old tricks Everyone knows your strengths
