Adrienne Tacke
Adrienne is a Filipina software engineer, keynote speaker, author of the best-selling book Coding for Kids: Python, and a LinkedIn Learning instructor who's reached over 65,000 learners with her courses (a number she'll likely surpass when you read this). She is writing Looks Good To Me: Constructive Code Reviews, a labor of love that she hopes will improve code reviews everywhere. Perhaps most important, however, is that she spends way too much money on desserts and ungodly amounts of time playing Age of Empires II.
F*$! Your Foobar: Let's Create Better Variable Names
As the famous Phil Karlton quote goes: "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things". This talk focuses on one of those things: naming!
Why is naming so difficult? How do we craft concise, clear, and consistent variable names? What makes a variable name concise, clear, and consistent? In this talk, I'd like to discuss the importance of naming, walk through examples of variable names and improve them, and set some clear guidelines and tips on how to name things.
By the end of this talk, you'll leave with the indispensable skill of effectively naming things!
👍 Looks GREAT To Me: Getting Past Bare Minimum Code Reviews
Ah code reviews. We need them, but we dread them. We do them, but not well. How do we deal with gigantic PRs? Why can't we write effective code review comments? How do we make code reviews shorter? Is SSDaaRB (Single Senior Developer as a Reviewer Bottleneck) something we just have to accept? In this talk, I'll not only answer these questions, but give you actionable advice on how to improve your code review today!
I want to tell you: - All the things you're doing wrong in your code review, both as an author and as a reviewer - How to fix all those wrong things - What we can do to make code reviews WAY better
Let's change the way we do code reviews. Let's do better than LGTM 👍 – let's make the code review processes on our teams great!
