if you have only used github pull requests then i'm sorry but you have never seen how software development can be good

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
