I've worked with 2 different companies. One (big name, big time) has rigorous build/commit processes, the other one (startup) uses "checkstyle" and "findbugs" but lacking of code-reviews process and best-practices/standards. During my time in the first company, I thought there were too many bureaucracies/processes revolving code policies.I felt that those rules were slowing me down. After I spent time with the second company, I took my words back. We wasted time arguing about code-style and best practices/standards. People checked-in code as if they were cowboys in the wild wild west. At first it felt fun. Later on during the bug-fixing period, the pain and agony start. I learned my lesson.
