I am definitely guilt for that, but I find this approach really productive. We use small bug fixes as an opportunity to improve the code quality. Bigger PRs often introduce new features and take a lot of time, you know the other person is tired and needs to move on, so we focus on the bigger picture, requesting changes only if there is a bug or an important structural issue.

I always try to review the code anyway. There's no guarantee that what they wrote is doing what you want it to do. Sometimes I find the person was told to do something and didn't realize it actually needs to do Y and not just X, or visa versa.

I like to shoot for the middle ground: skim for key functions and check those, run code locally to see if it does roughly what I think it should do and if it does merge it into dev and see what breaks.

Small PRs get nitpicked to death since they're almost certainly around more important code

Especially when you see a change in code, but not in tests โ˜ ๏ธ
