Feedback from the Island Foxes - 7/26

On Wednesday, July 24, Anne and Sherif brought in Jared from the DBC staff to act as a guest lecturer. Jared was asked to refactor code from one group's "Flash Cards" project. Jared had no familiarity with the group's code base before the code review. Many members of the Island Foxes cohort felt that this was an extremely beneficial lecture (though it was felt more like an organic conversation). This gist is being provided to staff in order to concisely express why we felt that this guest code review was beneficial, in the hopes that it can be regularly incorporated into the curriculum.
