No more late Friday fixes
Am I alone in not liking this line? I don't see the correlation with code review. I initially thought this site was yet another "prevent drunken code commits" tool, which I'm not at all interested in, and not a code review tool, which I find quite interesting.
Scrolling down the page, I came across:
Codebrag is not about code reviews. Well, not only about that. It's about making your life easier by helping you write better code. And that means not staying late. And an empty office on Friday evenings. Because everything is "done done". Just kill the lights and enjoy your weekend.
This is where I closed the site. I don't think about code review as a tool to relieve me of work duties on a Friday night, I view it as a tool to help my software development. To be honest, as someone who works at a small company trying to become a big company, there has never been a moment where everything is "done done".
Just to clarify, I'm not dissing the site overall, it might be awesome, I just think the text on the homepage could be modified to tell potential users such as myself why I should be using Codebrag instead of Github for code review.
- teherr 12y agoWell, we see code review as a part of ensuring our code quality and squashing potential bugs process. This has quite strong correlation with "emergency production fixes" etc. Regarding Codebrag vs Github: not all companies are ok with sharing their code with GH, that's why Codebrag is self-hosted tool, you download it and install within your own, secure environment
- lugg 12y agoGerrit user here, how does it compare? Gerrit is terribly slow and pretty ugly even with a nice theme. What's it written in? (On mobile can't inspect right now)
- pawelwrzeszcz 12y agoCodebrag is about completely different (lighweight, non-blocking review) philosophy than Gerrit. And yeah, it's nicer look :) Technologies under the hood: AngularJS+Scala(tra)+H2 database.
- dccoolgai 12y agoYeah and most of my "late Fridays" have nothing to do with code quality and more to do with idiots from other departments who realize at 6pm they didnkt do anything all week and then stopping by to ask for something so they an say they did it in the Monday AM meeting...
