Good article, but can you please not use "he" as a default pronoun for programmers (or anyone, really)? "he or she" or "they" would be much more inclusive.

The author of a pull request does a self-review on his code using the code review checklist. He corrects any issues he catches and then releases his pull request for review.

Thank you for bring this up. I've seen this handled lots of different ways in books and on the web and the system that I think makes most sense for me is to alternate between male and female pronouns--one post with male pronouns, the next with female pronouns, repeat.

Or just use “it”.
