CodeSOD: The Review

Argle, a software developer, relies on his experienced coworker, Jimbo, for guidance. Argle recently wrote extensively documented complex code involving data transfer between different languages. Jimbo quickly approved Argle's pull request, leading to the code's integration. The following day, while working on related code, Jimbo questioned the data transfer mechanism. Argle pointed out the detailed documentation he had included in the code. Jimbo admitted he hadn't read the documentation during the review process. Argle expressed his concern about the purpose code reviews, if the reviewer ignores the documentation. Jimbo dismissed the issue, implying the code was likely functional regardless. Argle then shared his anxieties about the quality assurance of certain software and related issues. The author then shared his worries about the outcome of the plane rides he and his coworkers take. Finally, the text concludes with a promotion for NuGet practices in enterprise settings.
