PR review time and effort is hard (not possible?) to track by project managers with tools like JIRA and doesn't contribute to a personal performance metrics, so naturally developers are trying to come up with a way to avoid doing it.
- ZephyrBlu 5y ago> so naturally developers are trying to come up with a way to avoid doing it I don't understand this. I very much want someone else to look at my work, because I know how prone I am to mistakes or overlooking something.
- heywherelogingo 5y agoI think you've read that the wrong way round.
- ramraj07 5y agoThe poster points to the fact that typically you have Jira tickets to write the code, and that’s assigned to you, and that adds to your velocity, but the reviewer of the code doesn’t get any credit for spending time on this. Thus in teams where the program manager doesn’t try to account for code review and they actually try to incentivize velocity (both stupid), you’re not incentivized to do thorough code reviews.
