Code Critic-Code Review and Mentoring

Example

Identifying variables in a JavaScript function that could be better named to enhance code clarity.

Scenario

In a Pull Request, a developer might have added a new function to handle user input validation. Code Critic could suggest renaming variables like 'x' and 'y' to 'inputLength' and 'isValidInput' for better readability.

Example

Advising the use of async/await in TypeScript for handling asynchronous operations instead of older Promise chains.

Scenario

A developer submits a TypeScript file change where they've used then-catch blocks for Promises. Code Critic would recommend refactoring to use async/await for cleaner and more understandable code.

Example

Highlighting the use of eval() in a Python script, which can introduce security vulnerabilities.

Scenario

Upon reviewing a Pull Request with a Python script that uses eval() for dynamic expression evaluation, Code Critic would point out the security risks involved and suggest safer alternatives.

Example

Suggesting the use of StringBuilder in Java for concatenating strings within a loop.

Scenario

In a code change, a developer uses string concatenation inside a loop, leading to inefficient memory usage. Code Critic would recommend using StringBuilder to optimize performance.
