Many government agencies and enterprise organizations expect their software vendors/providers to conform to a set of development standards and quality management. Peer-driven code reviews for all changes is almost always one of them.
Sure, not every organization/startup needs to conform to this practice, but from my experience code reviews help keep developers accountable for the changes they make, and disseminates system knowledge across the team such that no one is a single source of implementation/project knowledge.

- philwelch 15y agoI'd say it's more like testing; government agencies and enterprise organizations have formal ways of doing them, and you don't have to follow their processes, but if you don't do it at all that's bad news.
