This post dives deep into the problem of developers not having an in-depth understanding of the code that they or their peers write. It’s a common occurence that code is covered in errors and holes that prevent it from getting done what it was initially made to do. This is a common problem among teams of developers who work together on projects. However, Github has resources to target these issues such as the Copilot function which helps to fill in code where they might see fit. Another issue is the lack of teamwork and communication in these projects between the developers. Github also promotes collaboration and frequent code reviews heavily to increase that engagement factor that helps to bring developers together more often to create a more successful code.
This post does a great job at touching upon this problem in the coding world that not a lot of people realize can be solved with just the simple solutions of better teamwork and the resources that Github offers. These simple solutions are very commonly overlooked as developers can just want to rush their projects or believe they don’t need extra reviewing. This important especially since Github is a very widely used platform for coding. It’s part of a blog that continously does posts about updates globally in the world of technology. They talk about topics ranging from new use of A.I. in farming to the U.K. involvement in trying to improve connectivity and broadband issues. It’s a great website overall to keep expanding your knowledge in today’s world of technology.
I will definitely use this post to my advantage. I also believe that good code comes out of well-coordinated team work and Github definitively has resources to foster a good work environment. The more that people are able to bounce ideas as well as concerns with each other in a project, the more the project is to come out as thorough as possible. The code reviews I think are especially great as they allow the developers to take a pause on their work for a bit and reflect on what’s already there. With more frequent edits and reviews, the possibility of a bigger problem with more undoable mistakes happening later on is decreased.
