Coding Horror always has insightfull articles, and this one on code peer reviews is no exception.

Why is it that writers, musicians and, well, any respected and professional artist or scientist gets his/her work reviewed before it's published, but the same isn't true in IT?

My guess? Most programmers aren't neither artists, nor scientists. They're an anonymous resource in a badly oiled machine that's always behind schedule.

Well, so long, Knuth!
