Nice to meet you, Jia Tan
t.f.w. "npm install somePackage" adds hundreds of names to your supplier list, some of whom aren't even adults let alone companies, and the policy says that each new supplier needs to go through a thorough vetting process.
TFW you want to do things good, slow and expensive, but management makes you do them fast, cheap and crap.
For your entire career.

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
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
