Let’s take a development scenario for a new feature on a website. You have covered all the acceptance criteria, you have written your tests, you have run the code locally and on the development platform. You think you are ready to ask for peer reviews…
We should add one more step in here and that is:
Review your own code first
If you use Github for example – open a pull request and walk through the code as if it were not your own and you are seeing it for the first time, I guarantee you will find issues that you did not see before, even silly things like commented code that you had intended to remove but forgot about.
