Please don't be intimidated by it. Code review is one of the best methods to
improve your skills. We all sucked at programming at one time and perhaps we
still suck in anything but our favorite language. But if we are to improve
ourselves we need to spend a lot of time reading and coding and still we will
not always get it right. Furthermore other people learn from our code review,
such as you learnt about docstrings. Here[1] is a quick explanation of them.

Have fun,
