Jacob's probably wishing he had a crystal ball to see all the hidden bugs. Code review is like playing "Where's Waldo?" with security flaws.

This sounds like a static application security testing (SAST) activity, similar to what we practiced in class.

Sounds like a code inspection to me. I'd start by understanding the application's architecture and flow, then dive into the code to uncover any security weaknesses. Methodical approach is key here.

Ah, this is a classic security code audit. I'd use a combination of manual review and automated tools to identify potential vulnerabilities. Gotta be careful not to miss anything!

Okay, I think this is a source code review. I'd look for things like hardcoded credentials, unsafe function calls, and lack of input validation. Gotta be thorough to find those security flaws.
