Your Code as a Crime Scene — by Adam Tornhill (25 / 100)

Right now, we are at the central idea of the book. Subsequent chapters will expand on this concept. While we initially focused on code and design, we’ll take the same basic techniques and apply them to organization, teamwork, and communication in Part III. But first let’s dig deeper into the concept of hotspots.

The next chapter will discuss how you can investigate hotspots to see whether they’re real problems or perhaps just false positives. In the latter case, we can relax, but more often than not we’ve identified some serious technical problems.

Finally, I’d like to emphasize that a geographic code profile isn’t intended to provide an absolute truth about the system. Instead, it’s a supporting tool, a guide for your expertise. And it’s based on data from how we actually work with the code. How good is that?
