I would add to this other purposes of code review:
* to share knowledge among the team — if code has been reviewed then at least two people know about it
* to ensure the changes won’t cause problems with other systems or future plans — maybe we will be rolling out a new logging system soon and we don’t want to solve the problem in this specific way
* a chance for the reviewer and reviewee to learn something about the system or the code via the review discussion
* team coherence — code that’s well reviewed is a team effort. Working together on small things like code reviews helps teammates work better together on other tasks in the future
