    Mandatory pull requests + approvals within a team are a waste of everyone’s time.

      Big hot take to me; especially in an organization with a large size and code high standard

      depends on the company/team culture. are other people gonna have to fix or extend code you wrote? are you the sole engineer working on entire modules? do you hate feedback?

      You must trust your team’s abilities more than I trust my own. How often does your team merge bugs into main? We use CI primarily for running the full test suite, including integration tests and e2e tests that would be very difficult to run locally due to them using specific credentials to access testing resources.

          I trust my team. I don’t trust my or their ability to write and merge perfect code each time. I’m not sure how we’d fix that problem aside from becoming programming gods.

            My point is, having PRs desn’t result in perfect code either. They might help sometimes, maybe 10% of the time if I’m being generous, but the rest of the time they are a hindrance. The problems people tend to try and solve with them, validation and indoctrination are better solved with a good CD pipeline, and pairing sessions.

      Depends how good you are at what you’re doing. I’d argue that humans err and it saves a bunch of time to catch bugs before debugging in the wild

      Unless you have people that are known to delivery garbage code. Which is more common than you would imagine, lol.

        The solution to that is pairing - spending a few hours collaborating with, and teaching this person will get them up to speed much faster than asynchronously nitpicking their code.
