Why. Whyyyyyy people need to comment this always? Why isn't just the Approve button enough? I so much hate it.

Ah, that's too boring. I have a range of responses to pick from to keep things interesting:

  • LGTM
  • Nice
  • Looks good
  • Thanks
  • Looks great
  • :thumbsup:
  • Looks good to me
  • :shipit:

For me, no text means "I haven't really reviewed this properly so don't want to write anything that could be used against me if (when?) this breaks something in prod"

I reserve "ship it" to mostly trivial bug fixes.

If you're in a place with codebase analytics you want to have at least one comment on every MR - otherwise the system will start to think you're falling behind... I hate codebase analytics.

Analytics software like that has made my professional life so annoying at many times.

In my experience, the managers get confused when issues/PRs are closed without any comment.
Useless comments beat having them pop into your slack to ask "hey, did you review this?" with a link to an approved PR.
