No code reviews by default
He mentions &quot;trust&quot; a lot.<p>Is that why we do code reviews, because we don&#x27;t trust each other? I find this attitude problematic. We do code reviews because humans make mistakes. Requirements can be misinterpreted. Different work in progress can be in conflict with each other. Reviews are a good way to learn from each other and keep abreast of what work is occurring outside your own bubble. Not doing code reviews because of &quot;trust&quot; kind of misses the point.<p>I find even just cursory and brief code reviews are beneficial and often pick up on issues. It also creates a more collaborative team and gives me a reason to communicate with devs I might not otherwise communicate with, even if that is just a brief comment on a PR.<p>Rejected.
