14 Please don't be intimidated by it. Code review is one of the best methods to
15 improve your skills. We all sucked at programming at one time and perhaps we
16 still suck in anything but our favorite language. But if we are to improve
17 ourselves we need to spend a lot of time reading and coding and still we will
18 not always get it right. Furthermore other people learn from our code review,
19 such as you learnt about docstrings. Here[1] is a quick explanation of them.
