Many of us write opensource code in a void: nobody ever looks at it, uses it nor reviews it. We are the only users and authors.

In order to improve, where can we get our code reviewed? I don’t mean professionally, just from like-minded individuals.

    Yeah that’s definitely a possibility. It’s really a tricky topic to build a review community. One could try other approaches like dedicated volunteer reviewers. But if you look at exorcism, that will become hard to manage for languages with huge demand.

    A system where everyone also needs to review is definitely better. Especially since everyone also learns reading other peoples code.
