Again this wasn't what I was saying. My argument is that engineering time (and time in general) is valuable, and we should be careful how we spend it. In other words: if, over the course of a project, you're wasting a lot of time, that's bad if you care about the project (and you probably should). Maybe you disagree, but I don't think this falls under the "entitled millennial SWE" category, but rather the "we can do better" category.

I'll also, for the sake of discussion here, say I've done some pretty shitty work and have benefited tremendously from code review and general discussions with my colleagues. I'm definitely not someone who thinks they're a "extremely high-percentile" person, probably above average, but definitely not like a Brad Fitzgerald or something.
