Episode 14
In this episode I cover some aspects of the code review process. Some good and bad practices as well as some recommendations as to how to tackle a code review from the reviewer and the reviewee.
Main concepts takled:
- Code review should be part of every dev process.
- Establish a secure place during a CR session.
- Coming into a code review expecting problems.
- As the dev being reviewed, you should have a chance to explain your work, this is not just about getting told you're bad.
- A CR session should never be personal.
- As a reviewer you have to remember that this might be a stressful experience for the other person.
- As a reviewer you're not automatically right, you have to be open to be corrected and learn through the review process.
- The CR sessions is not the moment where you find big bugs, if that happens, then there are other problems (like lacking unit tests, etc).
