[Chicago] Reviewboard

[sheila miguez]

Last night at the beer meeting Cosmin and Feihong expounded on
reviewboard for Garret and anyone else who hadn't played around with
it. It was proposed by someone, but I cannot remember who someone was.
I blame my 3/4ths beer and water drenched haze.

So what I'm trying to say... I'm volunteering Cosmin and Feihong to
give a demo of a code review.

in recap of beer night

Garret gushed that someone should study the software developer
behaviors and culture that sprout around tools.

(aside: I tried to point out the inverse -- I saw it while working at
a bitch-slapping and smack-downing mandatory code review place. we saw
home grown tools sprout up to ease the culture. some of them behaving
like reviewboard. so you can see both sides trending towards a similar
culture. and for sure these things are studied. tangentically, you
have cognitive psychologists immersed in a lab to watch the ecology of
it. so, like I was attempting to say after that, you'd probably see
this as a sub discipline of human factors. or maybe industrial design.
or hand waving in pub.

 but it is hard to interject these things into loud pub conversations
so I am bringing it up here).
