The 10 Commandments of Navigating Code Reviews
Receiving feedback on your work, especially from various sources with different personalities, can be difficult to consume. In this article, I provide ten guidelines that I personally follow to ensure smooth, drama-free code reviews. These guidelines are useful for developers, automation engineers, or anyone else who needs to navigate the code review process.
Here are the 10 commandments at a high level
I. Thou Shalt Not Take It Personally
II. Thou Shalt Not Marry the Code
III. Thou Shalt Consider All Feedback
IV. Thou Shalt Articulate Your Rationale
V. Thou Shalt Be Willing to Compromise
VI. Thou Shalt Contribute to Others’ Code Reviews
VII. Thou Shalt Treat Submitters How Thou Wants to Be Treated
VIII. Thou Shalt Not Be Intimidated by the Number of Comments
IX. Thou Shalt Not Repeat the Same Mistakes
