Replace Code Review With Architecture Execution

takeaway 1 connections

Mateusz Nowak's provocative proposal: replace mandatory code review with an 'architecture review' during planning (where you verify and experiment with the model on a whiteboard) and an 'architecture execution' phase during implementation. Because the model translates one-to-one to code via standard patterns (decide/evolve/react), review becomes a formality checking that the implementation reflects the model. Traditional code review is compared to thinking about battle strategy after your hero's head has been cut off — too late, no time to rewrite.
