There are no senior engineers in a company that pushes to master.

Plot twist: at AWS, we pushed to master after CR. The most we had was feature branches, and those were then rebased and pushed into master after approval.

Generally workflows like gitflow are designed to give a cookie cutter approach, but generally lean to the low skill, low trust end of the team composition spectrum, and routinely become gateflow when PRs are added into the mix. Trunk based development and similar are for high skill, high trust environments.

Not to master, for now we just push to main branch
