Interactive Code Review
One of the most important practices for engineer teams is code review. The traditional way is to leave ‘TODO’ – comments to others code and then wait either for argument or fix. But this isn’t very efficient as people tend to delete the comments without doing anything or just leave them be. Also the traditional way doesn’t praise whole team communication which is a very crucial part of learning system.. and team itself.
The idea behind interactive code review is to gather all engineers in the same room, pick piece of code, start reviewing it with the whole group and write down all the relevant comments. Try to review piece of each engineers code. After a few times setup meeting for going through all the comments that were collected during the code reviews. Two main reasons for going the comments through :
- To remind people.
- Create new coding practices / guidelines.
This way everybody learn:
- From their mistakes
- From others mistakes
I definitely recommend trying this out.
