In this episode, we take a deeper look at the term code review, exploring it beyond its typical context—the pull request. Joining us is Dr. Michaela Greiler, a software engineer, researcher, and consultant.

Dr. Greiler is renowned for her work in the field, including her significant study conducted at Microsoft, titled Characteristics of Useful Code Reviews: An Empirical Study at Microsoft.

In this episode, we had an insightful conversation with Adam Tornhill, co-founder of CodeScene, a leading code analysis and visualization tool. We explored the role of AI in software engineering, focusing on its potential to refactor code, but also how AI can in general help us to tackle the persistent challenges of code quality in our industry.

In this episode, we talked with J.B. Rainsberger about how we can improve interactions and communication within an engineering organization, how to diagnose issues, and which models can help make sense of them. We also discussed why it shouldn't be your responsibility to fix a large-scale organization, but how you can still make sustainable improvements.
