Code review has always been pointless


I realize this like a decade ago. Security is basically the only thing I care about in code review.

I’ve come to realize that I don’t actually care what your code looks like. I’m going to need to learn it from scratch every time I use it. It’s going to look weird and foreign to me no matter what. It’s not worth my time nit-picking things that simply do not matter.


I’m glad somebody said it!
