Making code reviews more inclusive and productive | Shifalika Kanwar | LeadDev San Francisco 2022

Shifalika will talk about why we need to focus on the social aspects of code review, the best practices around it and discuss concrete ways to promote inclusive code reviews.

Code Review is a great collaboration tool, a socio-technical engineering practice that every developer already uses. I will talk about why we need to focus on the social aspects of it, and the best practices around it and discuss concrete ways to promote inclusive code reviews.

I will also discuss how we can use the power of diversity through the Code Review process and mould a team’s culture by using the process appropriately. Even if each one of us learns one way to do it better, it would have a huge positive impact on the everyday lives of each of the respective Engineering teams.
