That's absolutely true. Not arguing with that. It's absolutely absurd. The point of requiring others to review code is it essentially eliminates cowboy coding

That's absolutely true. Not arguing with that. It's absolutely absurd. The point of requiring others to review code is it essentially eliminates cowboy coding and incomprehensible crap because another person/people puts their credibility on the line when they sign-off. It doesn't devolve into "trust me, bro, just rubber stamp it" because of the seriousness, professionalism tech culture.
