    Who do that? This sounds like an intentional murder.

    Better than not having peer review at all. Trainees' and juniors' code goes straight into production 😭

    Approving *any* PRs without looking them over really. I'd say more PRs than not even for senior team members have at least one minor thing that needs clarifying or addressing.

    @johnmelodyme if there are no conflicts and it passes the code quality check I just smash that merge button. Ain’t nobody got time to read every line especially when half of it is just their formatter changing indentation and quotes.

    @electrineer some murder are accidental... For example my manager once gave us a long fart in meeting room, out of nowhere. Well I'm sure some of the fly just died.

    So how do you review PRs off you have no idea what their feature or change is supposed to do? What is there to review?

    @donuts

    Step 1: Click the Pull requests tab
    Step 2: Click on the pull-request
    Step 3: Look for green check box for passing tests
    Step 4: Look for green check box for no merge-conflicts
    Step 5: Click merge pull-request
    Step 6: Sip tea

    @wackOverflow that's what I do when I get asked and it feels like I'm doing nothing more than checking for summer issues... That a static analysis tool already does....

    @donuts Pretty much. 99% of the time there is no issue, and if there is I just rollback changes to a prior release and have the old dad talk with the Juniors.
