Linus's Law: Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.

The idea is that more people looking at code means bugs get found and fixed faster.

Sounds great, but it has some assumptions:
- The eyeballs are qualified to spot bugs
- There's a process for reporting and fixing issues
- People actually look at the code

More reviewers doesn't automatically mean better code. You need skilled reviewers who understand the system.
