The audio immersion tunnels are very well done.

Just finished "The dispossessed", for the xth time starting on the next which according to this ordering is " the word for world is forest". I've read left hand of darkness also before but the other books on the hanish cycle I haven't so figured I'd do the lot.

The dispossessed is very progressive for being published in 1974!

Why can't it be for finding defects AND the rest of the shit you listed?

It doesn't seem like anyone anywhere needs to rethink what they are for. They've proven themselves over and over to be useful for all the reasons you listed.

When interviewing and companies wave away code reviews i consider it a sign of a less mature org (or maybe very small, or maybe a more R&D place).

built collective ownership

I don't know about this one. people at companies are pretty quick to talk about code ownership when it comes to on call schedules, but i've never seen them give you the code when you leave.

spread architectural understanding

I also think this is not really true unless the codebase is really small. In bigger code bases broad overviews really help.

The first story in magic for beginners (the one about the library, i think it's the title story) is one of my favourite stories ever.

Since i mentioned short stories, If you like short stories get your hands on all the Ted Chiang you can (not anything like kelly link, but I think of him as the Chopin of short sci-fi.

Since i'm on a roll you may like "there is no antimemetics division" which is a little horror-sih may also be up your alley.
