Looks Good to Me- Constructive code reviews

Paul Slaughter and Adrienne Braganza Tacke delve into the critical role of communication in code reviews, emphasizing how soft skills can significantly enhance the engineering process. Adrienne Braganza Tacke, drawing insights from her upcoming book, explores the expectations for software engineers in code reviews, offers practical tips for improving communication, and shares her unique perspective on the parallels between writing and reviewing code. Their conversation highlights the importance of fostering a positive feedback culture and leading by example to create a collaborative environment within teams.

Paul Slaughter: All right. I'm so excited to be talking to you, Adrienne Braganza Tacke, because I'm so passionate about code review. And then I heard that someone's writing a book on code review. And then I get to read it and talk to you about it. So, this is... I'm jittery. And I've had to hold back so much that I wanna talk about. So, I appreciate you taking time to do this.

Adrienne Braganza Tacke: Yes, thank you. It's really awesome how the internet can connect people in these ways, and so, you know, the fact that I have you interviewing me for this book, I have written about something you have created, and so, hopefully, you can get into more of that in this podcast. But I'm happy to be here as well. Happy to be talking to you about code reviews, as always.
