“Keeping you up to date with everything software engineering!”

Testing | October 05, 2004 | 0 comments

Over at AgileManagement.net, Management Science for Software Engineering, author David J. Anderson brings up the problem that occurs when code-reviews become code-rewrites by chief programmers and how code-rewrites cause many long-term problems including: resentment due to the act being demoralizing and reduced team improvement because you are not working together to assure quality.

“A chief programmer who does not teach is not a chief programmer just a team lead directing others.”
