github pull requests are a fucking nightmare, they need to abolish these yesterday and replace them with gerrit-style change reviews, the horrors never end, they never end, they never end, history becomes worthless, the review process is painfully disorganised, it must Die

@hikari unfortunately I have no experience with Gerrit, so I don't know why GitHub PRs are bad. Are there companies other than Google that use Gerrit?
like jam or bootlaces

I guess this is one of those things that are doomed because "everyone" can just use Github or one of its myriad replacements but where does someone new to Gerrit go to get started without being thrown into the deep end of it in a new job?

github pull requests are like if a student hands in an assignment, you hand it back to them covered in red marks, and they submit a “new version” that is the same piece of paper, but they stapled a second page to it listing all the changes they imagined making (repeat ad nauseam)

github pull requests are like if the title and abstract of a journal article were entirely exempt from peer review, and also some divine force automatically cut off the title mid-sentence, moving the rest into the abstract unaltered, and inserting a random number afterwards

github pull requests are like if papers in journals did not contain any actual citations or bibliography, only little superscript numbers that refer to citations you can look up on some cloud service that will definitely never go down taking history with it, don't worry about it
