> Code reviewers are working at the deckchairs level, they are unable to change the Titanic's direction, and again both parties in a code review have incentive to do it as quick as possible (while not looking like they obviously brushed over it), so it become mostly a potential bug hunting and syntactic cleanup exercise.
And that's why I despise code reviews. There's obviously not enough time allocated to them for in-depth understanding of the reviewed code, so I'm mostly spending precious resources (attention, energy) on doing a half-assed review that is not going to do that much good. It feels like such futile work.
