[TangerineSDR] Code Review

[Aidan Montare]

Dear all,

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts on my proposal for hamsci code
review sessions! I really appreciate the feedback.

Please fill out the form (https://forms.gle/uiEHCqMG9v1BaQiW7) *by this
Thursday* if you haven't already so that I can schedule a time. My college
semester just began this week, so I mostly know my own schedule and can
pick a time.

Also, I wanted to provide some comments that will hopefully clarify a few
things:

The code review sessions are intended to be pretty informal. I want a space
for people to talk about programming in our projects, get help on topics
they would like to discuss, and polish the aspects of their work they'd
like to polish.

As Kristina pointed out, "code review" is a bit of a reserved word in
certain groups, and often means a specific thing. I'm not trying to be so
formal (perhaps I should have called them by a different name). I don't
expect that anyone has to follow any of the recommendations they get at any
of the sessions. And I don't expect that all code written in HamSCI has to
go through code review.

Also, these sessions are half for the benefit of our projects, and half for
everyone's individual benefit. Part of my motivation is the desire to
personally improve my own abilities, and I hope that others will learn
things as well. I appreciate the sentiment that not all good ideas might be
implemented now, but some might be worth remembering for the future. If
someone decides that we can't implement an idea now, but learns something
that can be applied in their future projects, I'd consider that a success.

Finally, I'm a bit of a nerd, and I do personally enjoy learning about
things like programming standards. But my intent of code review is not to
propose any coding standard or style guide.

I hope that makes my thoughts a bit clearer. I continue to appreciate the
feedback, and enjoy the discussions. Hearing from everyone’s different
experiences is one of my favorite parts of hamsci!
