One thing I've been thinking about is /why/ people are slow at reviews. Someone who usually has a long review queue has told me that he "hates" reviewing code. I realized that we don't really have a place at Mozilla for experienced hackers who don't want to do reviews. Should we? Could we do this without violating people's sense of fairness?
As another data point, someone told me recently that he's trying not to become a peer of the modules he's working on, because he doesn't want to review code. Maybe we're not incentivizing people enough to be reviewers. Roc said that we've spoken with people who are slow at reviews. Did we learn anything from that? I'd expect that people are slow for different reasons. It seems backward to me to focus on a solution without first understanding the causes. -Justin On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 3:08 AM, Robert O'Callahan <rob...@ocallahan.org> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 3:26 PM, Justin Lebar <justin.le...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> If I can propose something that's perhaps different: >> >> 1) Write software to figure out who's "slow with reviews". >> 2) We talk to those people. > > > We've done this before too. > > But we should just do it again --- the "definition of insanity" aphorism is > nonsense.
