Comment on Ask HN: How do you teach/enforce programming best practices?

Comments

I've found that detailed code review before code makes it to master helps enforce these principles and sets a precedent for future code. Gerrit is a nice tool for this http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/.

We're currently transitioning away from TFS and I think locking down changes to pull requests (and potentially blocking most devs' access to commit to master) will help quite a bit. You can pull off a similar workflow in TFS, it's just much less convenient.

I think being able to see the full end-to-end diff for a task/story (as opposed to digging through a series of changesets in TFS) will make the benefits of any suggested refactorings much more obvious.
