Of Tracked Changes and Diffs: Moving from Editorial to Engineering
summary
More than a decade in online content leads to one concrete claim: editorial habits make code review faster and less fraught. Describes actual practices — treating diffs like track changes, divorcing ego from drafts so feedback is purely about the artifact, breaking work into smaller batches so reviews land sooner, and formalizing timing and process so collaboration scales. Gives specific habits to adopt and reports that those habits measurably smooth first code reviews.
