I wish. Perhaps it's just they've accumulated in the large corporation where I work, but in my experience, they're rampant.

Just getting someone to adhere to the Java formatting standard so you can read, understand, and review their code is moving-the-pyramids time. Sure, I can read code with random indentation, mysterious brace placement, etc. but it's going to take a lot longer than I actually have time, for I need to get back to writing my own code as well.

God help you if you're trying to get them to respond to the recommendations in the actual code review. Just getting a string corrected so it's grammatically correct is almost impossible.

Apparently I'm oppressing people when I ask that their code be correct.
