Eh, if everyone knows what they're doing, it can be much better to not have it and rather do more pairing.

But yes, obviously Steven does not know what they're doing.

Better to not have version control!? Dear god I hope I never work on anything with you.

Pretty sure they meant to not have review. Dropping peer review in favor of pair programming is a trendy idea these days. Heh, you might call it "pairs over peers". I don't agree with it, though. Pair programming is great, but two people, heads together, can easily get on a wavelength and miss the same things. It's always valuable to have people who have never seen the new changes take a look. Also, peer review helps keep the whole team up to date on their knowledge of the code base, a seriously underrated benefit. But I will concede that trading peer review for pair programming is less wrong than giving up version control. Still wrong, but a lot less wrong.

Agreed. Even self-reviewing a few days after I wrote the code helps me see mistakes.
