minus-square@StudioLElink14•1 year agoMy mantra has always been to bring solutions not problems. Applying that to code reviews makes for a far more productive experience. Rather than just pointing out errors in code help the developer with prompts towards the solution. Or, if you’re too lazy to explain why something shouldn’t be done then why should another developer have to act on your criticism?
