code-review

Pull requests are a chance to ask, learn, and make sure that the code being merged is something EVERYONE is comfortable owning.

I was creating a document in Office365 the other day, and when I tried to paste with their custom right-click menu I got a popup telling me to download a browser addon. Well, that’s weird.

Does the mere thought of explaining your code cause anxiety? Be confident! We should all understand what we’re writing and why. It’s an opportunity (for everyone) to learn!

Does the idea of submitting to a code review make you sweat bullets? Or do you brush it off as a necessary evil? It should be a (hopefully positive) conversation, wherein the team agrees to the code they’re all going to have to help maintain, and maybe learns something new too.

I was checking the status of a FedEx order when Brave warned me that “this site has been blocked from accessing your motion sensors”. I’m struggling to understand why a website would need that access. Do I get a different experience if I drop my device? Tip my monitor over? Spin the mouse around?
