For me this has completely changed. The code needs to work. Bonus points when it is easy for a human to follow and has comments. But I don't do a full review anymore. I skim it and if I don't see an obvious flaw, it's lgtm. I also don't look into the bytecode / assembly to check whether the compiler did a good job.
yes, +1 for the assembly analogy. I absolutely feel the same about it
