Main Challenges in producing software
• defects in production • adherence to style-guides • technical
debt • silos • inconsistency • inefficiency • incomprehensibility • duplication • lack of tests • inability to test • rigidity • tight coupling • best-practice violations • anti-patterns • …etc
Who cares? When we break something, we’ll fix it #YOLO
http://bit.ly/1RuSIBr Bugs cost money
“Sunlight is the best disinfectant” * * better options now
available - yay science - Louis D. Brandeis
Code-review should be a collaborative, cumulative & critical process
Code-review Culture the how-to guide
Purpose it’s not just for finding bugs
Outcome better developers with a broader understanding
Everything as a PR every line of code is just
as important
Reduce the noise small, digestible changes
None
None
Discussion not dictation
Reinforce good work highlight and improve bad work
All of us are better than one of us
Feedback. Fast. dedicate time to code-reviews
Horizontal interrogation challenge, learn, share
Vertical guidance direct, mentor, question
Quorum for large PRs
Agree on a baseline Style-guides, clean code, avoid smells
Don’t just tell Provide links to bolster argument, increase learning
Code is all there is and all there should be
The Bus Factor aim for 3+
Logical fallacies to avoid when reviewing code

Get off your tuchus
Soft stuff • Diplomacy • Professional, but light • Questions,
not statements • Humility • Politeness • Consistency • Sweat the small stuff! • Have fun
Brown-fields vs green-fields the consistency vs. correctness challenge
Tools
None
Why we use Upsource • integration with Git/GitHub • self-hosted,
easy setup • fast! • incremental reviews • multiple reviewers / watchers • direct integration into PHPStorm • discussion threads (with resolve, @mentions)
