  • I’m not talking about the work contributors do, obviously that is invaluable.

    But if you do a review, and you see that a function should be extracted at one point to avoid code duplication, is it really faster to tell the contributor that a function needs to be extracted there, compared to just extracting it yourself as you see it?

    The value of a review is collaborative truth finding and learning. If there is an LLM on the other end, that’s just not happening.


  • That is just mostly wrong. Around 90% of the time, when you do a review, just fixing the issue that you found is much faster than explaining the issue and saying what needs to be done instead.

    Reviews plainly are for educating the contributor to what constitutes “non-shit”(using your terminology) code on the repo. If that wasn’t the case, you could just not do a review and just change the code, without any interaction at all. Why would you communicate the change that needs to be done otherwise?

    Rarely of course, something is so complicated that it actually takes more time to come up with the right code than do a review. But that is only a rare thing.








  • If you desire to interpret my comment as “shitting on people”, that is your prerogative. However, that is not how I meant it.

    Thinking about things is great, and that opinion is actually contained in my comment, if you look closely: I want people to think, just not about things that aren’t really worth it.

    The article is great, thinking about this in general is great, you just don’t want your future to be spent making decisions about where to place semicolons, that is not a beneficial use of one’s time. Without that thinking about where to place semicolons, you’re free to think about more useful topics.












  • For any advice post, there should be one thing that is most important: a clear description of the problem.

    Otherwise, all advice is almost completely random/useless. Because maybe changing the name is the right solution, but maybe it isn’t. There’s no way to know.

    In my opinion, there is no explanation of the problem at all here. You just say “too identifiable”, however my name/lastname is probably also completely unique, yet I can’t even think of a problem I would have with that.

    So, what is the actual problem?
