The Code Review Journey

Be Constructive: Ken's colleague, David, reviewed he code. Instead of pointing out mistakes harshly, he provided constructive feedback. "I noticed this function is a bit complex. Perhaps we can break it down into smaller, more manageable parts?" How do you provide constructive feedback?

Be Specific: David was specific in his feedback. He pointed out exact lines of code and suggested improvements. "In line 45, consider using a loop instead of repeated statements."

Be Positive: David also highlighted what Ken did well. "Great job on the implementation of the new feature! Your logic is clear and well-structured."

Be Respectful: David respected Ken's work and effort. He used a friendly and respectful tone throughout his comments. How do you ensure your feedback is respectful?

Be Open-Minded: Ken approached the feedback with an open mind. he understood that feedback is meant to help he grow.

Ask Questions: Ken didn’t hesitate to ask David for clarifications. "Can you explain why using a loop would be more efficient hee?"

Reflect and Implement: Ken reflected on the feedback and made the necessary changes. he appreciated the opportunity to improve he code.

Show Gratitude: Ken thanked David for his feedback. "Thank you for your suggestions! They've really helped improve my code."
