> Put another way, code review is also about a level of trust. Will the committer be around next week? Are they on the same team as me? If yes, give them some leeway to commit incremental work and make improvements later. Not all incremental work need occur pre-commit. Mention areas for improvement, sure, but don't go overboard as a gatekeeper.

I think this is very important, especially the part about incremental improvement. too many see development as laying concrete where it has to be perfect rather than as an ongoing process.

and personally the only thing I find PR's good for is ensuring jackasses aren't doing stupid shit. And by stupid shit here I mean things like using floats for currency (I caught that w/i the last year), things of that nature.

But my preference is to work with people I can trust and at that point I don't give a crap about a PR or a code review.
