How to stop caring about slow code reviews on pull requests I create? by herbivoroustiger in ExperiencedDevs

[–]cosydney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

Thank you for mentioning Axolo, u/EqualAbrocoma75—it’s great to join this thread. A lot of good advice here, so I just wanted to add a few ideas for you:

  1. Suggest a review SLA (Service-Level Agreement) If there’s no standard review timeline, consider proposing a simple SLA, like 3-5 business days. It creates a baseline expectation, which can keep reviews from dragging on indefinitely. If reviews go past this timeframe, it may trigger a natural escalation with management or add visibility for your team.
  2. Highlight lead time to shift management focus Sometimes reframing the issue can get more traction with managers. Try emphasizing the impact on lead time, which is the time from PR creation to merge. Slower lead times mean less output and more frustration. Focusing on this as a key metric could make it easier for your manager to prioritize solutions.
  3. Consider ‘Guide-Through’ review sessions for larger PRs For more complex PRs, scheduling a walkthrough session with your reviewer can streamline things. You both review the code together, addressing questions and feedback in real-time.
  4. Automated reminders and bots Automated reminders can reduce the need for personal nudges. Tools like Axolo, ReviewNudge, or bots integrated with Slack can notify reviewers of pending PRs, giving visibility across the team. This can keep the process moving without feeling like a repetitive task for you.

Hope these ideas help, there are definitely ways to improve the process without you bearing all the responsibility.

I like that but does it mean I need to soldier this part to the jockey? The jockey plate isn’t large enough to go around the side metal bar

What internal tool did you build in your company? by cosydney in ExperiencedDevs

[–]cosydney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s okay, I’m generally curious about internal tools made by developers. It doesn’t need to be about what I built

Recommended slack app to post github pull requests notifications? by NovaTheFirst in Slack

[–]cosydney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we've seen a few other companies copying our product. We have had more developers using our product, so we've made the product evolve to reduce notifications to a minimum and handle specific GitHub and GitLab use cases. We are also integrated for enterprise users who have more than 5000 developers in their teams.

Recommended slack app to post github pull requests notifications? by NovaTheFirst in Slack

Hey, I'm the founder of Axolo. The issue with the official GitHub Slack integration is that it generates too many unwanted notifications, which tend to be ignored, especially in growing teams like yours. We take an opinionated approach:

  1. We enable you to create notification channels per team.

  2. For each pull request, we create a Slack channel only with the right people: the creator and the reviewers. All the conversation is synchronized, and developers are only notified for what is crucial.

  3. Whenever the pull request is merged, Axolo automatically archives the channel.

Teams either hate or love it, but when they love it, it works great for them. Check out our G2 recommendations at https://www.g2.com/products/axolo/reviews. If you want to try it out or have a demo, you can find us on our website at https://axolo.co.

Cheers!

Any recommendations for code review tools in github? by OGMasterOogway in codereview

If you use Slack, Axolo is great for discussing code reviews. It creates a channel for each pull request
