        \begin{itemize}
            \item Detect bugs early
            \begin{itemize}
                \item $\implies$ Reviewers are maintainers / senior developers
            \end{itemize}
            \item Share knowledge
            \begin{itemize}
                \item $\implies$ Reviewers are juniors / random fellas
            \end{itemize}
            \item Maintain clean code
            \begin{itemize}
                \item Do you follow traditional code conventions?
                \item Do you have your code conventions written?
            \end{itemize}

    \begin{frame}{thou shalt consider all feedback}
        \begin{itemize}

            \item[Reviewer] Why not using a simple for loop?
            \item[You] At first, I thought the same.
                       But... <here you articulate your rationale, yada yada yada...>
            \item[Reviewer] It still doesn't look good though...
            \item[You] I hear you. Let's sit together and find the right solution

    \begin{frame}{thou shalt contribute to others' code reviews}
        \begin{itemize}
            \item Try to review as much as you can
            \item You'll learn a lot, and gain respect when you'll see things others have not seen :)

                \begin{itemize}
                    \item He probably can't control it
                    \item It means there are no bigger problems in your code
                \end{itemize}
            \item Fix it and move on!
