The Death of Code Review
How we work matters, a lot. Unfortunately, very often engineers and managers don't care about engineering working practices, which is a big mistake. How we work is the key to heaven or the highway to hell. Code review is a pretty default practice, it's everywhere, companies do code review, at least that is what they claim. But how good is the code review? How many times do you need to be chasing engineers to beg them to merge your code? How many times are you actually getting useful feedback or bugs are being caught?

There are many forces that make code reviews skipped and not performed with the due diligence that they need such as unrealistic release pressure, lack of critical talent density, poor engineering culture, low standards, and many other factors.
