Code Review Habits That Catch Issues Before They Ship

Not every code review comment needs to come from another person. A handful of mechanical checks — done on your own code, before it's even submitted for review — routinely catch the kind of issues that would otherwise cost a review round-trip.

Flag functions that grew too large

A function that's ballooned past its original scope during development is easy to miss from the inside, since each individual addition felt small at the time. Running it through the Cyclomatic Complexity Estimator gives an objective signal for "this has grown enough to split up" that's easier to act on than a vague feeling.

Check naming consistency before submitting

Mixed naming conventions within the same file or module — some camelCase, some snake_case — are a small thing individually but add up to a codebase that feels inconsistent. The Variable Name Case Converter makes it fast to normalize a batch of names to the project's actual convention.

Sanity-check file size, not as a rule, but as a prompt

A file that's grown unusually large relative to the rest of the codebase is worth a second look, not because size alone is bad, but because it's often a sign of accumulated responsibility that could be split out. The Lines of Code Counter gives a quick, objective read on that.

None of these replace a real reviewer's judgment — they just remove the mechanical, easy-to-check items from that reviewer's plate before they even start.
