The Art of Code Review: A Dropbox Story

Also nice is the style guide, which also covers a number of best practices for modern Objective-C: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/5utnlwhr18ax05c/style-guide.html?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dl.dropboxusercontent.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;5utnlwhr18ax05c&#x2F;style-gu...</a>

I think this may very well be the most joyless article about software engineering I&#x27;ve ever read. The sort of weird tone of moderately enthused Newspeak is also quite frightening in a way.

Much more interesting in my opinion is the Square article also in this issue of objc.io <a href="http://www.objc.io/issue-22/square.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.objc.io&#x2F;issue-22&#x2F;square.html</a><p>I am surprised to not see that article on HN instead of this one.

Even though this might be best for the company and the product, does anyone else feel that big bureaucratic processes like this take away the joy and creativity of coding? I suppose it is because I&#x27;m more fond of coding as an art than as a science.

Thank god there&#x27;s a few dank memes to offset the bitter taste of the mountain of red-tape. Employee morale must be off-the-charts!
