Non-Blocking Continuous Code Reviews - a case study
Thierry de Pauw

The problem with the current most common way of implementing code reviews using Pull Requests is that they have the nasty habit of blocking the flow of delivery.

The usual way to achieve fast Continuous Code Reviews without disrupting the flow of delivery is through Pair Programming or Team Programming. But not all teams or individuals are open to this for various good reasons.

In this session, I’ll explain how, in 2012, a novice team practising trunk-based development found an efficient uncommon way to implement continuous code reviews on mainline without ever blocking the flow of delivery.
