Some people are afraid their work or inventions get copied or stolen..

I always try to get another set of eyes on something before I go too far. Sometimes I get a "hey have you considered just doing xyz instead?" and I realize there's a far simpler approach that may work just as well or better and save me a ton of effort. Other times it catches bone headed errors I've made or potential problems I've overlooked. I've never had any reason not to seek review for my work, the only time I send out for boards without someone taking a look is when the project is trivially simple.

he is looking at that guys work = listening to police scanner and hearing 'fbi raid in progress' . I always think about the scifi movie 'outland'.

or this

and there is often undocumented/non obvious things what I consider to be 'spirit of design' that will get effected. And reviews often are used as a tool to gut designs, arguments about hunches, cause philosophical clashes, etc.

A good review needs to offer options/analysis/explainations and its ALOT of work to document everything. So its expensive and time consuming. Not like look at something for 30 seconds and be like 'we use this it works better for reasons unexplained bye'.. if that type of analysis works then it needs to be reworked so a real analysis can be done because someone was unfamiliar in the first place, or its just really loose some how.

At the absolute very least, allowing people to review your work spreads the responsibility and liability across a group. Maybe that's a bit selfish, but it's true. And, on the opposite end, reviews will almost always improve the quality of the end product.

Nah!

It lands squarely on the poor harassed Tech who has to redesign your crap "on the fly", because it is needed yesterday.
Meantime, your office is nearly impossible to contact, because of time zones or, in some countries, week long universal "special holidays" in the middle of the year.

When they are finally reached, you have moved on, & your replacement hasn't a clue.

In the unlikely event we get any sense out of your company, any replacement bits will be stuck down at the bottom of a container, with 3-4 weeks delivery time.

We look at how other companies did things, use the more available components they used, or steal their design to fix yours.

This is just the reality of being at "the other side of the world".

"You" & "your" was not meant to personally attack you or your employer, it was in the same generic way you used it.
