I just wrote a post about the human side of code reviews. I'm digging into why it can feel stressful, from miscommunication to clashing perspectives, without claiming to have all the answers. Let me know what you think!

There are things we take for granted like… electricity.
Learning about how electricity is created, transformed, transported, distributed in a way that it just “works” - and it’s fascinating.
So much complexity behind the scenes - yet most ppl never have to think about it.

AI tools: not now.
Excited to unveil the redesigned Rsdoctor UI, coming next month🥰
We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.
