If you view code reviews as expressing a lack of trust, you're probably doing them wrong. Code reviews should be a conversation among people who trust each other. You're saying "hey I'd like to know your thoughts about this, and I'd also like you to learn a bit about what I am doing"

When done right code reviews spread knowledge and build trust among team members. Of course there are certainly situations which call for a push without a code review, but those should be exceptions not the rule.

While a lot of the issues around code review are cultural, I also think there's a lack of good tooling. That's why I'm building CodeApprove which makes reviewing code on GitHub faster and more enjoyable: https://codeapprove.com/
