-## API review
-
-At Stripe, we scrutinize changes that affect the developer API more so than
-implementation changes. If your code change involves adding, removing, or
-modifying the surface area of the API, we ask that you go through an API review
-by following [this guide][api-review]. It's best to go through API review before
-implementing a feature. If you've already implemented a feature, address the
-[API review][api-review] considerations within your pull request.
-
-Going through an API review is not required, but it helps us to understand the
-problem you are trying to solve, and enables us to collaborate and solve it
-together.

-## Code review
-
-All pull requests will be reviewed by someone from Stripe before merging. At
-Stripe, we believe that code review is for explaining and having a discussion
-around code. For those new to code review, we strongly recommend [this
-video][code-review] on "code review culture."
