I wouldn't want anyone, in any language, with any level experience to touch production codebase without review.
Not even K&R themselves.
So that's a ridiculous straw man.
- Adiqq 4y agoYet it happens in many companies, when team is working on non-critical systems or in extreme cases, even on critical systems. I sometimes feel like some people in IT are detached from reality, not everything is mission critical system and not everything has high quality, because there's a lot of people in IT with all kind of background and there all kind of clients with different sets of requirements. It's business, not utopia.

If K&R show up at your door and want to touch your production code, you just let them, bring them coffees, and ask for autographs. Even if it breaks, it would be an amazing story.
