Today I learned about “learning debt” in which code reviews cause negative feedback cycles discouraging people from taking the time to deeply learn a code base. This is due to biases around how people reading your code only seem to value the code that you wrote instead of the effort you put into learning what was necessary to make that code change effectively.
If only there was a method that flipped that narrative on its head. Some way to get code reviews while also encouraging and amplifying learning!
