🚨 Ready to Master the Code Review?
Why code reviews?
Mastering the code review is critical for developers who want to level up. As software engineers, they're a critical part of our day to day. Think about how much time you spend performing code reviews, writing code that'll be reviewed, or addressing code review feedback. If you master code reviews, you'll level up fast.
This is a great thread from @curtiseinsmann about how to review PRs well. 👍💪 https://t.co/qChtBNW8qv

Why did I build this?
Code reviews can be intimidating. Once, that was me. I was awful at them. My code reviews received 50+ comments. I'd go through 8+ reviews before approval. When I was sent code to review, I felt paralysis by analysis. I didn't know what to look for, or how to give good feedback.
Long story short: I improved. I leveled up. I authored over 550 code reviews. During my last year at Amazon Web Services, 90% were approved on the first review. I reviewed over 850. I was often praised for insightful feedback. I helped other engineers improve and earn promotions.
But I learned the hard way. There are skills developers can learn to improve their code reviews — in all 3 dimensions of writing, reviewing, and process improvement. These skills are agnostic to programming language, framework or project. But nobody's talking about them, until now.

Who's the instructor?
I'm Curtis. I've authored and reviewed over 1400 code reviews. During my 6 years at Amazon Web Services, I was a course instructor and mentor to dozens of software engineers. If you loved my writing on how I review code, or how I craft beautiful code, or how developers can level up, you're sure to love this course.
This is an opinionated course by yours truly. I have first-hand experience on the topics I cover. You won't find this information in code review documentation or guidelines you've seen anywhere else.
Amazing thread with many tips by @curtiseinsmann on how to be effective with Pull Requests. https://t.co/S7GNNk9f82
