Code reviews seem to be the norm now. I'm struggling to see how that aligns with everybody not giving a fuck about code quality.
Maybe it was true. 40 years ago, we noticed code gets read many more times than it is written. It took us a long while to do something about it, but now insisting programmers produce readable code is easy to read where the industry is at.
It's not just "the industry" either. Try submitting a bad piece of code to the Linux kernel and see how many fucks they give you. It's the same for an open source project that does code reviews.
