Reviews are also a good way to learn. Particularly seniors reviewing the code of juniors and providing feedback (code suggestions are great for this).


I think juniors reviewing the code of seniors - and feeling comfortable that nobody will judge them for asking questions - is even better.

Among other things, it introduces them to parts of the code they wouldn't otherwise get to touch, which helps them get a broader understanding of the context in which they're working. And it helps communicate that they, too, own the code and are full members of the team, not just peons in some hierarchy.
