But have to be repeated every time
Labor-intensive
Microsoft: 1 QA / dev in the 90s
Today: 1 QA / 3 devs

Do not give orders; ask questions
Maybe ask questions instead of giving orders?
Isn't it faster to change it than to argue?
Could you accept criticism gracefully?
Knowledge is shared around
Disseminate coding culture
Status updates are much faster
It takes long, but not doing it takes longer
Blame is spread
Other people reviewed
Go straight to the solutions
