Sharing context in code review

▤ Summary

A nice guide on code reviews (unfortunately no author is attributed on the Notion doc) is making the rounds. On the flip side, I want to boost a couple ideas that I wish had been in force for code reviews I’ve given/received in the past: Lastly, this whole paragraph hits home. Onboarding and “mind-melding” is possibly the second most important thing to keep in mind regarding code review in the year 2020: Nobody went to school for hacking on your company’s stack. In my opinion, the most important thing to remember about code review is that it is often the worst time to offer non-trivial feedback. Most pull/change requests land when a project is wrapping up and the author is ready to ship the thing.
