I’ve been experimenting with a way to make code reviews more understandable - turning tricky pull requests into short comic strips.
The blog post shows an example generated from a real PR: summarizing the changes, anthropomorphizing the components, and making the flow visually obvious. It’s meant to help reviewers grasp intent quickly and make reviews a bit more fun.
Curious whether others have tried visual or narrative aids in their review process, and whether this could be practical for real teams.
For your enjoyment, here is a part of the article being read in a Yoda voice by a pretty good speech synthesizer:

Just wondering, when a new tool like this comes out, how can one be sure that it doesn't contain any malicious code? Would love to try it for work, but am a bit concerned about this, at least until it gets vetted more.
JonathanAquino commented on Ask HN: What book impacted your life the most and how? · Posted by u/curiousgal
The Bible. Probably has impacted the society I live in more than any other book and society in turn has impacted me. It's well-worth reading for a lot of reasons.
Along the same lines, I have enjoyed several times a little book called "Searching for and Maintaining Peace", by Father Jacques Philippe. It gives a Christian/Catholic perspective on how to deal with the troubles of life: fear of being without, fear of suffering, dealing with the suffering of loved ones, impatience with the shortcomings of others, kicking ourselves when we commit a fault, etc.
The short answer is to acquire and maintain an interior peace, no matter what the circumstances. This allows the grace of God to act through us. The book develops this idea from several angles, in about 100 pages.
