## Description

When reviewing code, knowing who wrote it can unconsciously influence your judgment, you might go easier on a senior engineer or be overly critical of someone you've had conflicts with. GitHub Blind Reviews removes that bias by hiding usernames and profile pictures across pull requests, issues, comments, and commits, replacing them with anonymous placeholders. Review the code on its own merits, not the author's reputation.
