"You're not supposed to use that object like that; use this instead." is the big win, because it has the biggest cost to fix later. Not that "you missed an array bounds check" is bad, but it should not be the primary purpose of the review. Hard core test-driven development and Dependency Injection style programming also claim to help keep your layers clean. This idea appeals to me, but (as far as I know) the evidence is not as sound as for code review.

(I'm Katy from the Hacker Within at UW-Madison, how nice to run into you on the internet again!) Anyway, I just wanted to say that, as a woman in the sciences constantly struggling with software development, I thought your comparison of this problem to Dweck's work on gender in the sciences was right on target. Though... I can't tell what the last map is supposed to indicate. Any hints?
