Date: 2019-08-15 08:42 pm (UTC)Where I am at the moment took on some new devs a couple of months ago, and one of them is very nitpicky, which is sometimes frustrating when I just want to feel I am DONE with a particular piece of work, but also, very good.

I will often tag far more than two people into the review, to encourage more folks to have some idea what's going on.
