Sometimes we miss the importance of code reviews, sometimes we are not sure of how to make them.This post links to an example that even when you know this is impossible to happen where you work, gives you the idea that at least some ad-hoc code review could help finding strange things, doing some refactor, deleting dead code and avoiding un-useful documentation reducing the code base of the system.

I've found very interesting one post in thedailywtf that shows an incredible code that was discovered during an attempt to discover a random result of some system. The example is way to extreme and I think that it takes more than avoiding code reviews to get to this kind of code but extremes are very useful to show the importance of things, Here is the article, enjoy it as much as I did.

As I said in the excerpt, reviews tend to reduce your code base, making your system more mantenible, modifiable, helping debugging, bug fixing and increasing your productivity, apart from this kind of ugly code that I'm sure is difficult to find I places with good programmers all other benefits of code reviews are much more important overall.
