Code Reviews Using Art Critique Principles
summary
Argues that art-critique methods make code reviews faster, less toxic and more useful by insisting on concrete steps: pre-review checklist (identify work, run tests, meet style), a written neutral inventory as proof the code was read, then description analysis interpretation judgment to record observations, analyze impact, suggest fixes and decide if it can ship. Reports classroom-scale throughput (about twenty students in an hour) and recommends documenting issues, offering concrete fixes, and keeping reviews kind and on-point.
