Definition of Done

Recently I had few beers with an old colleague of mine, and I asked how can I reduce time spent on arguing in the team and rise the quality of code and adopt best practices?

He explained, that argument supposed to take place only once, about every subject that matters…

The best developers

The best developers I know — the don’t care about their domain, and I mean their domain only, like people do in scrum teams.

They care about the whole organization, about all the teams. They are monitoring most of commits, interrupt some processes even in other teams…

Code review with Pull Requests

What do I do when I have to review someone’s PR?

1. First I walk through all the files and see what IDE suggests me to fix. It’s simple, I fix it myself: unused use statements, return types, strict_types=1 , this kind of stuff. Why do I do it myself…

Class naming

Namnig of classes suppose to be as descriptive as possible, nothing like Director, Manager, etc.

If you end up not enjoing the existing class name — it’s reasonably cheap to rename it to something less descriptive. But you should start with maximum descriptiveness.
