I did, it was yet another “I use it because I always use it” post, but longer. Absolutely 0 value. But if you’re going to behave like a child I’ll skip the rest. Enjoy!

You're making a lot of positive-upsided assertions about code review. My point is there is too much opportunity for negative behavior. It's the same as everything in tech, in life, "It can be good if everyone does their part

Code reviews can find bugs. More often, code reviews become opportunities for team members to bikeshed. Worse, an opportunity for a non-team member to exert power over a project.

So, you're an expert in hat related deaths? I fail to see how rattling off irrelevant statistics makes you "informed". Still not a single reference to hat related deaths, the topic of our debate!

Yeah, I just do not believe this is actually true, but I’m glad you have such fond memories. People have been trying to build clout and sell shit on every available medium as long as capitalism has existed.
