Reading code smarter

You have to understand the system before making decisions. The system is the code, where by code we understand any artifact that was produced during development and has some impact on the execution. Code is typically text. Text has to be read.

You just do not want for you to have to read that text. You do not want that because you simply cannot do it. It takes too much time.

Instead, humane assessment says that it is the computer that should do it for you. You only need to tell the computer what exactly it should look for, then lean back and only read the summary.

In essence, humane assessment is about getting smarter at reading code. Not just faster. Smarter.
