Session Recording
About this Session
If you want to understand a new project, or grow your skills faster in a project your already working in, doing code reviews can be one of the fastest ways to improve your skills. Documentation is often suggested as a good starting point into a new code base, but I think for many folks reviews can provide a smoother on-ramp to a new open source project. Doing code reviews provides the opportunity to interact with people already familiar with the code base, ask questions, and learn. Not only is this good for your personal growth, the community needs more reviewers to remain healthy.
