They measure the "quality" of review based on time spent looking at the code which suggests to me they have absolutely no idea why they are making people do code review at all. This is an especially bad metric because 1) We have g

The "yet" is the important part here. Once that changes why would you go to Shutterstock anymore? Their whole thing is being a marketplace, when the supply side of the market gets eaten by someone else they have a major problem. I
