code-review-emoji-guide VS code-review-checklist

I give it here and there, depends how much time I have. I recommend using an emoji code if you don't already as it allows you to easily give positive feedback or mark areas for tech debt etc: https://github.com/erikthedeveloper/code-review-emoji-guide

self reviewing your PRs definitely makes it easier for reviewers to ramp up fast. i found setting review guidelines (https://github.com/erikthedeveloper/code-review-emoji-guide for example) helps give good actionable reviews (especially for self reviews)

setting standards so that you're all on the same page wrt tone and circulating that internally could help. There's a code review emoji guide you could use (it's the first result in google for "code review emoji guide") or you could write your own. This can help make it more likely that no one is misinterpreting you (although it's impossible to make certain of this).

I like the ⛏ "pickaxe" emoji for these ('pickaxe' as in 'pick' as in 'nitpick').

Nice. I’ve used this emoji system and it works quite well too.

Below is my full checklist, based on what I think is important, and also inspired by other checklists out there. If you're looking to adopt a checklist in your team, I suggest you use one that encapsulates the properties your team thinks is important. There's plenty of good checklists around the web to use as source material.

There is this checklist.
