No, that is 100% wrong.
The purpose of QA isn't to *find* bugs; the purpose of QA is to *verify* that *there are no bugs*.
If you are giving something to QA with unknown deficiencies, and expect them to find them for you, you should be looking for another line of work.
(Known deficiencies of a work-in-progress are a different story, of course...)
Code review is purposefully a politically loaded process which enables management to divide and conquer and keep wages down.
You must have an awfully dysfunctional management. On my current team, code reviews came about by demand from the engineers, not from management.
Re: anonymous code reviews, meh, that could be made to work, I guess, but I don't see the point -- I'd rather have a discussion in the open.

All the usual hype is flowing about Vista 8. This mostly means that Vista 7 was a failure, but I decided to log it for laughs. Vista 7 did not sell as well as Vista did and Vista 8 won't sell any better than Vista 7. Vista failure has really killed Microsoft. The upgrade inevitability myth is six feet underground, tra
My 20-year-old dead-tree comics are still readable. (And yes, I still re-read the good ones.)
Will the same be true of the digital versions? Magic 8-Ball says, "Signs point to No".
HTC and Microsoft have a long history of technical and commercial collaboration, and today’s agreement is an example of how industry leaders can reach commercial arrangements that address intellectual property,
They had nothng to say about the news that Microsoft is officially a patent troll.
"A rough estimate of the number of HTC Android devices shipped is 30 million. If HTC paid $5 per unit to Microsoft, that adds up to $150 million Android revenues for Microsoft. Microsoft has admitted selling 2 million Windows Phone licenses (though not devices.) Estimating that the license fee is $15/WP phone, that makes Windows Phone revenues to date $30 million.
Optional type annotations (a la ActionScript3) were considered for JavaScript in the ECMAScript4 standard, but the committee decided it didn't want to go in that direction.
See also http://www.masonchang.com/blog/2011/4/21/tamarin-on-llvm-more-numbers.html for a take on trying to use LLVM for ActionScript.
A guy did in fact transplant LLVM in place of Nanojit (in Tamarin rather than SpiderMonkey, but close enough):

And found that LLVM didn't really produce an overall win for this sort of code generation. LLVM is nice for ahead-of-time-compilation, but isn't a good fit for just-in-time.
