Code reviews are an important part of a developer’s life. It’s very easy to perform code reviews, but hard to do it with empathy. In today’s online world, online criticism can be misinterpreted easily. Hence in this talk, we will go through what is a pull request, how to effectively create one, how to give constructive feedback and also how to respond to one using empathy. This talk will also teach you techniques to breakdown your feature, testing strategies, learning when to take the conversation offline, resolving disagreements, going above and beyond in your job as a developer and more. We often forget that we are reviewing our co-workers PR who we like to hang out with. After this talk, you will learn how your choice of words will help you get the point across but also build a positive relationship with your team and you are all set to focus on the most important thing i.e. writing great software.
