"I love photography, I love coffees and making espressos and lattes in the morning. I used to work at Airbnb out in San Francisco as a dev tools engineer about five years ago, which is a lovely, really fun company full of cool meeting rooms and puppies running around before I learned how to make coffees. But now I work at a dev tools company, a dev tools startup out in New York City, building the future of code review."
"Sometimes this specific code owner, but otherwise just someone had to review it and stamp it. And I thought a lot about this. I actually once did a personal research blog post of like, what is the history of code review? Where did this come from? And feel free if you have stories on this, but the best I could tell is it originated even in the '60s or '70s."
Greg Foster lives in New York City and enjoys photography and making espresso and lattes. Greg previously worked as a dev tools engineer at Airbnb in San Francisco and now works at a dev tools startup focused on the future of code review. Greg questions the purpose of code review and examines its origins, noting a practice where pull requests often required another engineer's approval. Greg researched the history of code review and found roots potentially dating back to the 1960s and 1970s, when printed code was reviewed manually across desks.
