Code reviews don't usually find bugs
Many code review processes become bottleneck for the engineering teams. Instead of finding bugs, it hinders progress leading to poor developer experience.
A static analyzer that’s been configured to use your style guide can run through changed code and identify any lines that violate those guidelines, such as incorrect naming or spacing issues. Code reviews are also almost exclusively focused on evolvability defects, such as checking for missing documentation, improving algorithmic efficiency, and reducing cyclomatic complexity that might cause bottlenecks or maintainability issues. While some tools, such as CODEOWNERS files, try to improve the process, an error-driven approach still doesn’t accommodate knowledge sharing, and you don’t get the full benefit of code reviews.
