Personally I only use a debugger when there are bugs, but I know some people who debug the code when they are developing to check that it is doing what they want.
By running the code. Let's say the code is bad. The software will let you know if there's a logical error. The software will be hard to maintain when you want to update it, The software will be hard to use when users try it. There's no feedback like the one the software gives. The proof is in the pudding. If you're new to software and a junior developer, then outside feedback is much needed, but once you're experienc…

The most useful feedback will come from customers. If you have a bug or are missing a feature they will tell you. What is harder is dealing with architectural issues but I'm not convinced they are that easy to avoid in a team environment either.
Reporting a bug takes work. Doing it clearly takes more work. Some percentage of people will do work for free. Relying on it is a choice with tradeoffs.
I do have some developer friends to talk to when i need to get it out and once in a while i team up with one of them to create something. That way I learn new things and get some feedback but nothing close to what i had back then when i was working in a company.
If you don't want to do that, you most likely need to pay consultants to review the code.
1. Your problem
2. The solution you chose
3. Your strong belief your solution is the best, and that no one can possibly find any fault in it.
Then post it to HN and wait for people to school you :)

Peoples compulsion to point out other peoples flaws is far greater than their drive to help.
Otherwise post to any forum with a female-sounding name. Works as well.
