What does "feedback" mean in programming?
feedback is one of the most common terms in software development. This guide explains what it means, how it is used in practice, and why it matters, with real examples from the developer world.
Definition
Information given to the author of a pull request about what is good, what needs to change, and why. Good feedback is specific, constructive, and focused on the code rather than the person.
Example
"The feedback was helpful: the reviewer explained why the current approach is fragile."
