Code review
Derived node: assembled mechanically from the claims carrying code-review. A roster, not an adjudicated definition.
Every claim under this term
- 3995709-001 : Modern code review imposes substantial hidden costs because developers spend an average of six hours per week reviewing others' changes and are forced to switch away from their own work, creating an o
- 3995709-002 : The benefit of a code review is negatively correlated with the size of the code under review: the larger the number of files in a single review, the lower the rate of beneficial feedback from reviewer
- 3995709-005 : Proposed remedies for patch size, namely distributing the workload across a broader set of reviewers and providing better transparency on developer review queues, have not solved the problem; patch si
- 3995709-006 : Confusion during code review lengthens reviews through a message escalation mechanism: more confusion produces more messages exchanged during discussion, so the review takes longer than it should.
- 3995709-011 : Organizational identity and structure affect the time and effectiveness of the code review process, as shown by a statistically significant difference in how quickly Apple accepts its own patches vers
- 3995709-017 : A code review should focus on the functionality of the code and on keeping mistaken, badly constructed, and dangerous code out, rather than on the reviewer imposing their own stylistic logic.
- 3995709-029 : The CRDAO governance model enables a community policing and audit methodology for code reviews, and those governance and policing functions ensure less duplication of code reviews.
- 3995709-031 : By creating a compendium of reviews, the CRDAO generates common code review standards that legacy code review environments lack, and reviewing under a shared set of standards aligns reviewers and the
- 3995709-037 : In future iterations the CRDAO will offer the customer a form of insurance where the code review does not correspond with the contractual obligations of the parties.
- 3995709-039 : CRDAO community engagement is the mechanism that minimizes issues of lacking crowd controls, lowers the time requirements and prices of code reviews, increases developer participation, and increases o
- 4734750-001 : Modern code review is expensive not only in direct reviewer time but in opportunity cost, because developers spend an average of six hours per week reviewing other people's changes and must switch awa
- 4734750-007 : The more hierarchical the code review process, the lower the quality of the reviewed code; hierarchy in review is inversely related to output quality.
- 4734750-008 : In hierarchical review, the first reviewer's output receives the highest priority and later reviewers add only minor upgrades, so the review becomes the initial reviewer's work product rather than the
- 4734750-012 : A code review should focus on the functionality of the code and on keeping mistaken, badly constructed, and dangerous code out, rather than on conforming code to a reviewer's stylistic logic.
- 4734750-027 : Aggregating reviews into a public compendium generates a common standard for code reviews that legacy review environments lack, and a shared standard aligns reviewer and collective expectations about
- 4755632-017 : The more hierarchical the code review process, the lower the quality of the reviewed code, and the same holds for barriers to entry: hierarchy and entry barriers together degrade code quality.
- 4755632-018 : Hierarchical review produces an anchoring failure: the first reviewer in the hierarchy gets the highest priority and follow-on reviewers merely add minor upgrades, so adding reviewers does not add the
- 4755632-019 : The collective of reviewers in legacy code review is not incentivized to find flaws in the code, because the review is treated as the work product of the initial reviewer with minor input from follow-
- 4755632-020 : More reviewers asking clarifying questions makes code simpler and clearer, which typically increases code quality, but hierarchical review processes foreclose this mechanism and also exclude opinions
- 4755632-021 : Legacy code review carries a single point of failure risk: if the single author of a review misses something and the follow-on reviewer focuses entirely on the first reviewer's concerns, the review ha
- 4755632-022 : Without crowd control the reviewer's views and the code author's intent are at odds, so a reviewer imposing their own logic can force repeated rewrites of code whose core functionality is already soun
- 4755632-023 : Code reviews in legacy systems can last weeks and months, and these delays can force complete rewriting of contracts because the underlying protocol may have upgraded core libraries during the review
- 4755632-025 : Concentrated market power in code review undermines internal and external quality controls, leaving the public with no or very weak control over the quality of code review services, and it eliminates
- 4755632-026 : Because a limited number of players control the code review market and its outputs, the quality of code review is often suboptimal, and clients have little or no recourse when code proves flawed even
- 4755632-027 : The code review market is self-undermining: one of the strongest forms of exploitation and centralized economies of scale is being created in a market whose purpose is to support the decentralization
