I understand, but that was not what I was saying. What I was saying was that Git, with Pull Requests, give a solid foundation for code reviews. It's easier than ever to do code reviews, and there are more code reviews than ever before in my opinion. I review code all the time in my team, and so are my teammates. So while Git and pull requests do not mean necessarily that there was a code review, what I meant was that there were more code reviews than ever. In the Open Source community, I am pretty convinced that most pull requests are code reviewed. Otherwise, the community could not survive.

So in conclusion, what I was trying to say is, code reviews are absolutely nothing new. Just look at the results of this survey: https://www.slideshare.net/SmartBear_Software/2014-state-of-...

And as for the article "Why Agile Is Dead: Long Live The Code Review!", I think it's trying to talk about a problem that is not really there. For me, personally, there is no problem with Agile. And there is no problem having code reviews in a Agile environment.

Windows Defender is OK. But you don't have the kind of protection you get from a product like Bitdefender Total Security or Kaspersky Total Security. I think it is wise to invest in a reputable product.

I use Bitdefender on Windows. In 2017 more than ever, you definitely need protection. Sure, Windows is the most obvious target for viruses. But Microsoft is also the company that invest the most in security. If you know just a tiny bit about security, you know that MacOS is not more secure than Windows. It's just less attacked: http://www.ibtimes.com/nope-apple-computers-arent-more-secur... And then you got this kind of report (to be taken with a grain of salt: http://thehackernews.com/2015/02/vulnerable-operating-system...

Don't listen to hearsay... you need protection.

Very simple points, but important ones. I agree.

I have been there, I know what you are going through. What works for me: physical activity (running in my case), meditation, and rational emotive behavior therapy (look into Albert Ellis). A psychologist could help. And if all else fails, see a doctor. But my most important advice? Don't delay, and seek help.

Agreed. And with Git and pull requests, it seems that code reviews are part of every programmers daily routine.
