More though, what kind of culture develops when someone works on something - and then it's called garbage? On the other hand, when someone is looking at their rate of progress, and they make a tactical decision that perhaps something is fine, not great, but it's f'in fine - and they are going to spend the time saved getting the project done; and then what happens when the reviewer decides the PR is "garbage"?

I've also come to learn that I need to be more intentional about letting various fires burn. Can't fix everything, and sometimes simple & low quality is best.
