We welcomed groups of developers from external companies to join the Code Review channel and help with CR.
The interest was significant in some companies, but engagement was minimal (for various reasons not related to CYF)
However, I could get one feedback (not a robust sample :) that I would like to share with the Curriculum/Tech Ed team, in case you find it useful to know.
"_The main problem I had was that it wasn't clear what I ought to be focusing on. I took it upon myself to review database project material (e.g. PRs in this repo : https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/Module-Databases). However, it wasn't clear whether what I was doing was useful, or even seen by the students who'd submitted the PRs. I was told not to 'approve' or 'request changes', so I'm not even sure they'd have been aware that I'd looked. And I now don't think there have been any new submissions in these repositories since last September. Whilst I could pick up PRs that date from that time, I don't know whether that would be of any use to anyone.
I am happy to tackle something else if database reviews aren't required, although there weren't many (or indeed any) other repositories involving the sort of languages and technologies I work with (e.g. C#.NET or Teraform and Buildkite for AWS Cloud development), or am in a position to judge others' work._
