  Review Roulette: Everyone is a winner!

  31-03-2017

  Arnout Boks

  In an earlier blog post I introduced our idea of Review Roulette, a process of randomized code reviews with the aim to foster learning and increase collective code ownership. I explained that we would try this idea out as an experiment for two months and evaluate afterwards. I also promised to share the results of that evaluation. In this post I will do so, and describe the steps we took to make Review Roulette work even better for us.

  Maybe you recognise the following situation. You are implementing a new feature, and you know that you can use a certain method, as it already covers some of the functionality you need. You briefly look at it, and you don’t see any exception handling constructs. But can you be sure?

  Detecting hidden bugs in PHP code using PHP_CodeSniffer

  01-12-2016

  Arnout Boks

  Although PHP serves us well as a programming language, we cannot deny that some of its behavior can be very surprising, which can easily lead to hidden bugs. In this post we will look into two potential pitfalls in PHP, and how these can be detected and avoided using our open-sourced collection of sniffs for PHP_CodeSniffer.

  Introducing Review Roulette

  20-09-2016

  Arnout Boks

  At Moxio we recently started an experiment we called 'Review Roulette': a process of randomized code reviews. We believe this emphasizes code reviews as a means of bidirectional learning and helps onboarding junior developers, and thus improves upon our previous review 'policy'. In this post I would like to sketch the background behind this experiment, explain the idea of Review Roulette and present some preliminary results.
