Anant Shrivastava aka anantshriPublic note for friends who send me drafts of their work.
I am in that phase of life where I am running a training company, building my own open projects, and still trying to stay active in the community. To keep myself updated I often pick review work. It gives project owners a third party view and it keeps me in touch with what is happening.
Here is the tricky part. There are people who do nothing and still ride on the work of others. Then there are people who are actually building. I cannot comment on people who do nothing. I can only comment on people who publish. Which means it sometimes looks like I am against the ones who are doing the work.
That is not the case.
When I review, I am trying to make your work sharper so it can stand in front of the crowd that does nothing but still talks a lot. Most of my comments go in before things are public. In my head I am helping the author ship a better version.
I also understand that this can look condescending or adversarial. So let me say it clearly. If I spent time reviewing your work it means I took you seriously. It is not an attack on you. It is an attempt to raise the quality.
I am posting this here so I can point to it whenever we disagree. 😄
