Code Review

Correct Answer: Explore ways to optimize the feature without losing its functionality or suggest an alternative, lighter solution if viable.

The best course of action when a new feature significantly increases the load time of a web application is to optimize its implementation. This might involve refactoring the code, using different algorithms or data structures, or finding other ways to make the feature more efficient - all this without losing its functionality. Alternatively, if viable, a lighter and more efficient alternative solution can possibly be suggested. This ensures that the feature remains, but does not excessively impact the performance of the application. The other options are not best practices. Ignoring the issue would lead to a poor user experience due to increased load times. Removing the feature temporarily until the application is lighter may result in a loss of functionality, leading to customer dissatisfaction. Finally, expecting users to upgrade their internet connection is unrealistic and may lead to customer dissatisfaction and attrition, as the problem lies with the application, not the user's internet.

Correct Answer: Reevaluate and readjust the code review approach to ensure it is effective and efficient.

The best course of action from the given options when team members complain about code review sessions being long and unproductive is to 'Reevaluate and readjust the code review approach to ensure it is effective and efficient'. This step addresses the concerns raised by the team members and provides an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of the code review sessions. The other options do not provide a solution that maintains the importance of code reviews and also addresses the concerns of the team. Cancelling code reviews entirely would lead to a lack of quality control, while ignoring the complaints disregards team member feedback, which could lead to decreased morale and productivity. Reducing the code review sessions to once a month may not address the issue of them being unproductive and could lead to potential issues within the code not being discovered as promptly.

Correct Answer: Verify with the author if the code is necessary and suggest its removal if it isn't.

Communicating with the author to verify the code's purpose is the best approach, as they may have insights into its necessity. Other options either create confusion or do not effectively resolve the issue.
