Teaching through Code Review

Originally aired:

About the Session

Code reviews are often focused solely on quality control. The reviewer protecting their main git branch from badly formatted, not properly tested code that can introduce bugs. Code reviews become adversarial processes where the requester must meet all the demands of the reviewer. This type of process does not promote teamwork nor does it allow less experienced engineers the opportunity to truly learn.

In this talk we will learn a new approach to code review. We will learn how to make code review a learning experience by transforming the role of reviewer into a teacher. This approach can lead to high quality code, developer satisfaction and team building. We will also explore ways that junior developers can make changes in the process and encourage adoption of better review practiced by senior and lead developers. By the end of this talk you will learn how to make code review a great learning experience for all those involved.
