TLDR Web Dev · OPINIONS & ADVICE
DROP EVERYTHING AND REVIEW
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
Software development has multiple feedback loops: the inner loop (immediate feedback from tools), the middle loop (code reviews), and the outer loop (deployment and system-level testing). Code review often gets delayed, unnecessarily inflating the middle loop which leads to slower deployment. This author advocates for code reviews to be the top priority for teams after any urgent production issues so that teams can keep shipping at a smooth pace.
