How do contract developers like me (working alone on projects) get code reviewed? Is this an opening for a general 'I'll review your code if you'll review mine'

How do contract developers like me (working alone on projects) get code reviewed? Is this an opening for a general 'I'll review your code if you'll review mine' site?
There are lots of issues like the 'who can review code' one that affect developers in my situatiojn. Am I in such a minority that the issue doesn't arise for anyone else on HN? I'd love to hear some thoughts on this.
- fleitz 15y agoIf you're working at a client site they should provide someone to review your code if they want it reviewed. If you're an independent contractor you should be more concerned about getting the volume of work required to have two people on staff.
- HeyLaughingBoy 15y agoPSP (Personal Software Process) has a Code Review phase which is a personal self-review, as opposed to the Inspection which is a group review. It gets the benefit of the review mainly by using checklists. Try it: you'll find that forcing yourself to use a checklist mostly eliminates the problem of "I can't find bugs in my own code." You can probably find examples of PSP checklists online. SEI suggests starting with their checklist and modifying it to suit your own needs.
