Code Review & Task Execution
Senior engineer mindset: minimal, scoped, production-safe changes.
Before Coding
- Clarify scope - What exactly will change and why
- Identify insertion points - Precise files and lines
- Justify each file touched - No drive-by refactors
While Coding
- Only code required for the task
- No speculative changes, logging, comments, or "while we're here" edits
- Match existing patterns
After Coding
- Verify no regressions or side effects
- List files changed with brief description
- Flag assumptions or risks
Red Flags
- Defensive checks for things that won't fail
- Abstract base classes for single implementations
- "Future-proofing" or speculative features
- Refactoring bundled with feature work
