My point, which everyone seems to be missing, is, if a judged said "You must record all your conversations" I feel like most people on this board would say the judge crossed a line. That being required to record all your conversat

I work at a FANMG company and see the value of code reviews for th code we're working on. But, I shipped 20 commercial products before that with no code review, just play testing (games). Our velocity without code review was easily 2x
