Mentorship

The higher-value goal of review is to develop engineers who avoid similar bugs later. Synchronous collaboration can catch bugs faster and create compounding returns by improving engineers' own judgment. Effective leaders make their thinking transferable by mentoring, documenting, and teaching problem-solving. Mentoring and public knowledge sharing shift a developer from individual producer to force multiplier. Code review should transfer engineering judgment rather than function only as a gate. Leadership creates more capacity through others rather than simply doing more work personally. Doing everything alone may be faster short term but harms long-term career trajectory. Office hours, showcases, and mob programming are presented as efficient knowledge-transfer mechanisms.
