The author argues that code review is fundamentally an intuition skill. Without training, reviewing every diff drains mental energy; with training, most issues resolve on sight, saving cognitive load for critical logic.

To develop this intuition, the author introduces lgtmxp, a gamified platform for deliberate practice. It offers exercises to help developers hone their code review skills. Users earn XP, level up, and maintain streaks by completing reviews, with the system dynamically adjusting task difficulty based on the user's recent accuracy.
