As a mostly self-taught dev, it's really helpful to read code reviews like this. I also enjoyed the author's code review reference[1]. That document cites Erick Breck's code review reference as inspiration. Is that publicly available? I couldn't find it on his website or via Google.
Does anyone know where one can find high quality public code reviews? I imagine there must be open source projects on GitHub with good public feedback on pull requests. Any ideas of specific projects to look at?
Finally, I haven't found much information on database migration best practices. Any good articles, books, or other resources people would recommend?
