You know that manager who thinks implementing peer reviews will magically produce pristine code? Yeah, they're living in the tiny 0.1% tail of this IQ distribution curve. Meanwhile, the remaining 99.8% of us are sitting comfortably in "I'll write it myself" territory because we all secretly believe we're the only competent developer on the team.
The brutal truth: code review is theoretically brilliant. Three devs reviewing each other's work should create a beautiful feedback loop where bugs get caught, patterns improve, and quality ascends to the heavens. But in practice? Everyone's either too busy, too passive-aggressive with their comments, or just rubber-stamps everything with "LGTM" so they can get back to writing their own "obviously superior" code.
The bell curve doesn't lie—we're all equally convinced that collaborative quality is someone else's job and that our solo genius is the real path forward. Spoiler: it's not, but we'll keep pretending until the production bugs prove otherwise.
