Re: "I think the community needs more explicit direction...."

Re: "I think the community needs more explicit direction...."
Why code review and not do pairing?
Not enough hours in the day.
I do code reviews on my phone, while waiting for my food to cook, etc.
Such is modern life. The code I review is sometimes done in

What gets me is how many managers that used to be experienced, technical

Re: "I think the community needs more explicit direction...."
Students, programmers, managers, etc all have the same problem in this
case.
The goal is to do the assignment and get it "over with" ASAP so they can

Wouldn't pairing with them work better than code reviews? If not, why not?

Hi Roy,
Good points!
I particularly like this notion. We do encounter students who seem to lack even elementary notions of code clarity and expressiveness.

I think there's an issue of naming and grouping here too.
What we are calling findOrCreate sits in a soup of possible API actions for
