Code Reviews with Trevor Lalish-Menagh

Trevor Lalish-Menagh of many AWS etc meetups downtown will be coming out to VertexInc in Berwyn / Paoli to present  . . .  Code Reviews

The topic of Code Review is an important one which all software engineers should be  encouraged to use, whether they are Waterfall or Agile

We will see among our members their current feelings and ideas – with a lot of Q&A about . . .

- when doing Code Reviews, where do you like to start – by looking at the code ? or the tests ? or the Generated Documentation ?  or the manual Sox documentation ?

- How much time should be given to code reviews ?  At what point is it a diminishing return ?

- Who on the team should be involved ?  Everyone?  Equivalent talented peers?  SW Managers?

- For real situations, are Peer Code Reviews really a good learning experience for juniors ?

- How can one defuse the stigma that "Critiquing Your Precious Beautiful Code" can be ?

- Anecdotal evidence of things caught in Code Review

- Statistics on Quality from Code Review . . . make this a Must Do area for all software, but does it apply to our codebase and our practices ?
