Code review yra neišvengiamybė tikriausiai kiekvienam dirbančiam šioje srityje. Tai yra bene vienas naudingiausių dalykų, kurį išmokau “Sourcery” akademijos metu, kadangi akademijoje teko ne tik implementuoti funkcionalumus, bet ir tikrinti kaip tai sekasi kitiems komandos nariams. Ir dabar, dirbant Cognizant, kasdien skaitau komandos narių kodą, o tai yra puiki galimybė augti profesiškai ir prisidėti prie projekto kokybės gerinimo.
