Self Review
Self review is a personal development practice where individuals systematically evaluate their own work, performance, or skills to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. It involves reflecting on completed tasks, projects, or code to assess quality, adherence to standards, and learning outcomes. This process helps developers enhance self-awareness, accountability, and continuous growth in their technical and professional capabilities.
Developers should use self review to improve code quality, catch errors early, and refine their problem-solving skills before submitting work for peer review or deployment. It is particularly valuable in agile environments, during sprint retrospectives, or when preparing for performance evaluations to document progress and set goals. By regularly practicing self review, developers can reduce technical debt, boost confidence, and accelerate learning from personal experiences.
