> Sure it sounds wonderful everyone can see/fix anyone else code but 99% people shouldn't have time to do so (if they do their work load is not full, increase the load). That's a sweatshop mentality. Startup, big corp, whatever: your engineers should have flexibility to work on things that they recognize the importance of. That's not the same as free time or a lack of tasking; that's treating people like adults who might notice things you do not. And if you're intentionally trying to manage your engineers in a way that keeps them from having time to notice bugs in others' work, you're doing yourself a fucking massive disservice: when people have collaborative ownership of something, they get invested in its quality/growth/feature-set, and productivity goes up. "Don't look at other people's code, just keep your head down and churn out the feature in time, ignore the larger picture!" is a recipe for low-output, uninvested, hard-to-reassign, burnt out engineers. Doesn't matter if it's a team of 2 or 2000.
