Summary: What ever happened to Code Reviews?
+1. This author has good ideas, but has difficulty being succinct. Thanks for summarizing the post.
Oh, sorry ;-) I was a bit tired, so the rest of the article was too abstract for me, over my head...
I really wonder about the Code Reviews, though. I remember in many projects (consulting gigs) agreeing to do code reviews, but I don't remember ever doing any, or only very rarely. That is such a shame - maybe only the best teams can pull off code reviews, because in other teams there would be too many issues with brushed egos?

I've done a lot of work on avionics software. Reviews for avionics are commonplace. In fact, sometimes it feels like half of the work is the paper trail and making sure that everything meets FAA requirements.
But, as annoying as it feels at times, this is a good thing.
If a social web application crashed every day, it wouldn't really be a big deal. If an airplane filled with passengers crashed every day it would be a huge deal.

Same with medical devices and FDA requirements. You wouldn't want a blood glucose meter device to give you the wrong number!
