Weeks of Code Reveiw

Voidsinger

These past two weeks have been spent entirely on reviewing the code for Voidsinger. This is the first stage in the large refactoring that the Voidsinger programming team will be undertaking.

The Reviewing Process

Each programmer will read over all of the code that they have not written and add comments to the code suggesting edits or pointing out issues. The purpose of this process is to familiarize all the coders with the codebase, catch errors, and serve as a learning opportunity for both the reviewer and the original coder. While it certainly would have been quicker for each person to review their own code, I wanted to prioritize learning, and reading over your teammate's code seemed like an excellent way to improve the entire team's skill level. Reading over other people's code also serves as an excellent way to motivate coders to comment on their own code in the future.
