This workbook takes the code review anxiety intervention that we designed and tested in our empirical research (https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8k5a4) & distills it into a self-paced workbook for you. It's designed for you to read & work through as many times as you wish and provides you with the tools you need to mitigate & manage your anxiety about giving or receiving code reviews.
Why create this workbook? From the start, we've known that in addition to developing and empirically testing an evidence-based intervention for Code Review Anxiety, we wanted to disseminate this intervention to the folks who stand to benefit from it most. This is a value I hold deeply as an applied clinical & intervention scientist, and one that Developer Success Lab (devsuccesslab.com) shares as well. The result is not only our empirical research, but also this workbook.
So bookmark this workbook, download the fillable pdf, and/or print it out. This workbook is truly yours to use. I sincerely hope it doesn't just reduce your anxiety, but also inspires you to be kinder to yourself, empowers you during code reviews, and, above all, shows you that you are not alone. 🙂
