Coaching through reviews
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
use code and design review to build skills, not to rewrite.
Planned topics
- Ask questions that lead the author to see the issue ("what happens if this call times out?").
- Separate must-fix from suggestions and explain the principle behind the comment, not only the fix.
- Praise specifics that you want repeated.
- Let some imperfect choices stand if they are harmless; prioritize teachable points.
- Do not push your own style as correctness.
