Found it in a Libri in Veszprém:
These are called post-commit code reviews, and they have been popular inside more mature teams (and at places where releases are not continuous, but done less frequently).
From The Software Engineer's Guidebook, in Chapter 23, Software Engineering:
Just learned a team at Microsoft is doing code reviews *after* merge.
Why? To move faster.
No more pausing work to wait for code reviews.
No need for stacked PRs.
No more time-consuming merge conflicts caused by long code review delays.
This has risks, but may work well for

I learned how The Software Engineer’s Guidebook (@EngGuidebook) ended up being translated to Mongolian:
This engineer (Suiribaatar) bought the English version, liked it, and suggested to his company (Nasha Tech) to translate it.
The company did it.
You can just do things.

I'll be there!
I somehow missed the news that SEG book by @GergelyOrosz is available as an audiobook.

After a year of publishing, The Software Engineer's Guidebook has passed 33,000 copies sold (not counting translations recently out in German and Korean)
Thank you to everyone who read it.
Audible is an example of a product that is wonderful for customers, but treats publishers and authors poorly.
It is also a platform that seems to have grown complacent - and approves new titles slowly, unlike its competitors.

It will eventually released on other major audiobook platforms as well.
However: Other platforms like Audible can take 4-6 more weeks to release.
The Spotify team helpfully expedited it (thank you!)
An important difference between software engineering and many other engineering disciplines (eg civil engineering):
physical laws are a lot less limiting for software engineering, thanks to the intangible nature of software
From The Software Engineer’s Guidebook, Chapter 15
The German translation of @EngGuidebook is out this week: Kindle tomorrow (26 Nov) and print on Thursday (28 Nov). Holding a print copy that arrived:
Proud to say this makes me an O'Reilly published author - five years after pitching this exact book to O'Reilly!
A reason engineers are often drawn to working on platform teams.
Especially if on product teams engineers feel like they don't have much input in influencing the team direction / tactics.
