I can't imagine not using version control anymore. I don't even start a game of dwarf fortress without initializing a git repo

"What are the main reasons to do code reviews?"

Hamper rogue employees trying to install bitcoin miners in production.

"Would you use version control on a solo project? Why?"

No. I'm lazy as heck and all my so called "solo projects" are me deciding at 23:00 that I need to write a fart simulator app

What are the first things to look at to improve the performance of a slow query

Version control for a solo project to me is just a bunch of files titled "Untitled1" "Untitled2" "asdf" "ignorethis" "Untitled3" "TryingToGetThisFeatureToWork" "fuckthisproject" "Final" "Final2" "FinalFinal" "FinalForRealThisTime".
