I think it depends on how you frame it. Personally, reviewing other people's code on exercism can be an invaluable chance to practice giving feedback on code. I've yet to find a better mechanism for practicing code reviews - and it something that even senior developers can benefit from.
Excerism is a great way to practice giving polite and thoughtful feedback to a captive newbie. I've gotten more practice at code reviews in 15 minutes a day on Exercism than I could have in several weeks at work.
- agentultra 12y agoToo true! It's a valuable exercise and worth investing in. My observation was simply that the mechanics of submitting code and reviewing it have different, unequal reward mechanisms at present. There doesn't appear to be a way for users to provide feedback to reviewers on whether they're being helpful besides leaving a comment. It might also be worthwhile to collect karma for taking the time to give a thoughtful review.
