Peer review of code and documentation works well. It can be formal or informal. After I was unexpectedly put in charge of a three-person programming team 32 years ago, I started giving my code to another programmer to look at before it shipped. I hadn't heard of peer review so I called it the "Will you have a look at this?" system. That became the norm in the team.

Later on, at another company, we had formal meetings to do the peer reviews with software to document the results. The meetings could be brutal. I remember submitting about 1,000 lines for review, which was a bit long, and the only thing the reviewers found wrong was that one line had "while(something)" instead of "while (something)". They kept going on and on about it. I did get an exemption from having the rest of my code reviewed, though.
