How I Read A Pull Request - Kevin Murphy

An episode of the Bike Shed podcast convinced me to dig this out of my drafts. Thanks Stephanie and Joël. I read a lot of pull requests (PRs) for work. It’s been a huge accelerator for my growth. It helps push work towards production. Work that’s in a pull request is likely closer to completion than what I’m working on. Alternatively, the PR may exist because the author is stuck. That also deserves my attention. I hope my reviews help share knowledge and provoke thought from time to time. I’ve developed a bit of a system to work through it. I’m going to share that with some help from the reporters’ questions. Note that this is not going to focus on how I comment on changes. Only the mechanic I use to read them.
