    Weird, never heard of anyone doing this. Aren’t your team self reviewing the code while writing it?

      When you finish the final sentence of an essay or a report do you just submit it straight away? You don’t read it through?

      How do you self-review while writing? What do you mean by that?

      I see it as different phases of development, mindset, and focus. You inherently can’t be in multiple at the same time.

      1. Problem space and solution exploration - an iterative and at times experimental process to find and weigh solutions
      2. Cleanup and self-review - document your findings, decision-making, exclusions, and weighing, verify your solution/changeset makes sense and is complete (to intended scope)
      3. Reviews

      It makes no sense to be thorough during experimental and iterative exploration. That’d be wasted effort.

      After finding a solution, and writing it out, a self-review will make you take a systematic, verifying review mindset.
