Comment on Down-Vote Leads To A Vicious Circle Of Negative Feedback

Comments

This makes me wonder about the negative feedback inherent in code reviews.

There can be both negative feedback and positive feedback in code reviews. And if you've written buggy or unmaintainable code, wouldn't you want someone to tell you about it so you could learn to write better code in the future? I sometimes wish I'd had someone to review my code when I was starting out as a programmer.

What is the negative feedback inherent in code reviews?
