Titling people editors, the ones that are senior in an organization and might be titled as architects or senior engineers, now, would be incredible. With their current titles they are involved much more at the beginning of the process than at the end, when 'editor' implies the opposite.
It would be nice to have the senior folk guide the developer as opposed to handing off a blueprint and getting out of the way. (Not that its like that everywhere, just some places I've been)
This is the linux model. First, discussion then front-line coders create a patch, then lieutenants review the patch and submit to their superiors who review the patch and ultimately, all patches go through Linus before being committed to kernel. This way, the style and potential issues are enforced by the most senior people that are the stewards for the code base.
Linus has deputized a few people to commit without his review, I believe.. but this is after years of working with them.
If you don't work in the code you shouldn't get an opinion and giving one to someone like that is asking for trouble. At the end of the day, it will be a developer who feels the pain, not the architect. There really is no incentive to do a professional job if it doesn't make your life harder later (sometimes that isn't even true).
*professional means good quality balanced with maintenance and time available during development.
Just putting this out there, besides the undoubtedly negative sentiment it will bring. Try pairing. You don't have to do it all the time, but if you are working on something that you have to think about, bring another developer over. The best way to ensure what you are writing is good is to get another set of eyes on it. Preferable a set that will actually need to do something with the code at some point.
The best approach — with or without upvotes — would be to ask people if you want that information. Upvotes wouldn't reliably provide it — I and many others feel the best use of the voting system is to promote insightful and thought-provoking comments even if I don't believe they're ultimately THE right answer, and we vote accordingly.
