TFW you want to do things good, slow and expensive, but management makes you do them fast, cheap and crap.

For your entire career.

Please kill me

No, you still have a PR to review.

> someone nitpicks word you used in a variable declaration

> you change it

> someone more senior says the former made more sense

> this goes on for far longer than it should

> eventually you get a real review from someone in your team that identified something actually needs to change

> you change it and re request reviews

rinse and repeat

Had a team lead that kept requesting nitpicky changes, going in a FULL CIRCLE about what we should change or not, to the point that changes would take weeks to get merged. Then he had the gall to say that changes were taking too long to be merged and that we couldn't just leave code lying around in PRs.

Jesus fucking Christ.

There's a reason that team imploded....

Don't forget get questioned by your manager/scrum lead as to why its taking so long to get out.

Well, I've had the PR ready for 3 days and the team asked me to make changes today

Change management! :-)

Or, if possible, change employer.

(And I know we're in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer's task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)

Every other skilled trade just says "Fast, Right, or Cheap: pick two."

It's not my fault if they always pick fast and cheap
