My experience has so far been similar to the root commenter - at the stage where you need to have a long cycle with planning it's just slower than doing the writing + theory building on my own.

It's an okay mental energy saver for simpler things, but for me the self review in an actual production code context is much more draining than writing is.

I guess we're seeing the split of people for whom reviewing is easy and writing is difficult and vice versa.
