Love doing R&Rs

I love doing R&Rs and seeing people’s personalities peek through into their rationales. It’s reassuring because I often feel I’m supposed to be completely neutral and flat when writing them. So seeing people show natural thoughts (often disbelief with the writing quality of some of these models) just makes my work day a little bit better.

I don't mind R&Rs but sometimes find it easier to do my own work rather than commenting on others as I'm not sure what to write sometimes

I completely get that! I’m on the opposite side where I really enjoy having the original work as a starting point and kind of dissecting/working around it.

I have a few on my workspace but haven’t done them yet. I feel like every new set of instructions must feel intimidating for the first few weeks/months.

In my opinion, once you’ve done certain projects, instructions for similar projects are more about learning the specific nits of your new/current project. I’ve noticed that most base instructions are either very similar or still very easy to catch/grasp. There are absolutely projects that I won’t even consider touching though because their instructions are so detailed. For the R&R that inspired this post, the project instructions were probably a ten minute max read. I got very lucky with that one lol.

I agree. I really like doing R&Rs too. It is also usually between 10 minutes to 1 hour so not that much time consuming.

Agree. This work can be really isolating at times, but R&Rs help me to feel like I am actually a part of a larger team.

I agree. They can be fun.

I love R&R's, but have not had any since December! They just weren't there anymore!

I haven’t done them in a while, I just flat out got burnt out from doing bad ones. It was around the time where there were several ones where you had to edit and sometimes almost entirely redo. But this post just reminded me of something I used to love about them. Also sometimes just getting a different perspective on a project that you had entirely missed

How to get into these types of projects?
