I would say when reviewing I'm not looking for bugs so much as things that will make my life harder in the future. Is it the right approach, is it easy to reason about, does it need tests, do we understand why it works?
Since I am very behind on social media, I just read this today https://apenwarr.ca/log/20260316 and I think how CW deals with this in practice is:
- Different levels of review in different branches. Little to no review in specialized/short term branches, extensive review in our long term dev branch. And we work on both concurrently.
- Fill the pipelines. While I'm waiting for reviews I work on other stuff.
- Prioritize reviews/tasks that block other people.
Wait, so, are your direct relatives your out-laws?

If infinite scrolling were opt-in, would people opt in?
I basically wanna make the devolution gun from Super Mario Bros. (1993) for websites. What was once static HTML will be so again.

Brutal and all-too-familiar.
Hey I just found out VVVVVV has a setting for "turn on glitches that were patched out" and I think that's really cool.

But, like. Dudes, the web sucks so much now that we want to spend our working life writing software that'll just render a fucking article without distractions.
