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.

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 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!)
