Did you realize when you started your career just how important non-technical skills would be? What other skills would make life easier but are undervalued?
How do you stay ahead of the curve? Stay relevant?

We know that Code Reviews are a Good Thing. We probably have our own personal lists of things we look for in the code we review, while also fearing what others might say about our code. How to we ensure that code reviews are actually benefiting the team, and the application? How do we decide who does the reviews? What does “done” look like?
In this talk, Trisha will identify some best practices to follow. She'll talk about what's really important in a code review, and set out some guidelines to follow in order to maximize the value of the code review and minimize the pain.
