It works much better than expected. We started on a 1st version about 2 years ago with 4 developers. After the shipment, we had a "what was good/bad, what could be better"-meeting. The bad things were the same shit as in so many projects: not documented dirty and unmaintainable code, which looked like a quick perl 1liner to check an e-mail address, but it was Java and C++! If your co-worker is touching the code parts you're interesed in or working on, you have to review his check ins and vice versa. At least it ensures, that the checked code is:
a) Documented
b) Doesn't contain 100+ characters long undocumented regex
c) Doesn't look like your favorite pasta dish
d) You know, what is going on and it makes it easier to maintain that code in the feature

By the time we doubled the team and it seems to help. If some developer gets 2-3 "WTF?!!"-mails a day from his co-workers, he starts to think before commiting the next time..

Uughh.. Moooom!?? Would you buy another keyboard please?

Our IT guys in my last company have an unbelievable effective solution: No one knew their phone number. If you had a problem, you had to ask your department manager.
But if you were trying to call them again, you would notice the number was changed. You've got it: telephone system was managed by the IT as well.

Oh honey..I'm getting wet and begin to drip if I only think about the next time our
Dr. Dumpling with golden eyeglasses will ask me again, how to use brain..

Never seen such amazing stuff outside of /.

Replace management with product management and/or marketing and I will agree. The problem I see is that less competent folks from upper management have funny ideas and telling the top management how nice it would be, what all the great benefits are and how many purchase agreements they will get but without understanding what they do. Afterwards you will be informed that you have to cancel your entire project planning and implement ASAP [insert fancy feature here] no matter how tough are the time lines. You have the choice: disagree and quit or close your eyes and let your project sink.

As a big windows fan boy I feel pretty lousy: THERE ARE ONLY 2 SUPPORTED GAMES: adventure and tic tac toe!
Ughh, don't you also think that at least 85% of the user base of a successful OS are minesweeper and solitaire overlords?

"The current version of MINIX 3 (3.1.2) is a work in progress. It is nowhere near as mature as FreeBSD or Linux right now."
Yau, Minix is not dead, micro kernels are /better/ than this monolithic retires and with your definitions of "near" you'd better promote yourself for the oxford english dictionary editor.
