Answer
Look for common pitfalls like race conditions.
Concurrency bugs often arise from improper synchronization or access to shared resources. During a code review, watch for race conditions where multiple threads access shared data without proper locks. For instance, in a Java application, using `synchronized` blocks or `ReentrantLock` can prevent two users from updating the same order simultaneously, thus avoiding data inconsistencies in an e-commerce checkout process.
