Sep 21, 2023 at 12:29 comment added Peter - Reinstate Monica I'd be concerned if my reviewer did not ask such questions (but instead focused on indentation depth and copyright notices).
Sep 20, 2023 at 9:35 comment added Mast A review by a non-domain-expert is always at least worth a shot if the alternative is no review at all.

Sep 19, 2023 at 16:39 comment added StuperUser I value "obvious questions" or feedback as an important way to understand how and where to make a codebase more readable and accessible for future maintenance. Anyone, a non-domain expert or a junior developer, is a potential contributor.
Sep 19, 2023 at 13:42 comment added Jared Smith One thing you can do (depending on the size of the team) is make sub-teams of people who have that specialty. For instance we had a subteam of "people who understand the CI/CD setup" and a ways of working agreement that all PRs that touched the CI/CD had to be reviewed by one of those people. If you do that though, make sure it's not some BS cool kids club: we gradually grew membership of that sub team from 3 people up to 6 as we did knowledge transfers.
Sep 19, 2023 at 13:00 comment added Pablo H Perhaps you are more concerned about human factors than technical ones.

Sep 19, 2023 at 11:30 comment added HectorLector Regarding point 2: Usually you should have a separate process to define which 3rd party libraries are allowed in the code-bases, since there are many points to consider (license, maintenance, security etc.)
Sep 19, 2023 at 11:17 comment added Doc Brown There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. Hell, any question can be appropriate during a code review. If someone asks me "how does f internally work?" and I don't know it, I tell them exactly this, and expect them to accept this.
