Read this as though it has a visibly bulging temple vein:

Does that mean you do the thing where I respond to your review, request a re-review, then get comments about code that was already there a week ago?!



If your PR had lots of stuff that needs comments then I don't think you can reasonably expect me to check it fully in the first pass. E.g. if your first 3 functions are indented wrong, I'm going to write that they're indented wrong and not bother reading the rest of your PR until you've fixed that.

Just add a linter and precommit hook, it’s not a good use of anyone’s time to go back and forth over trivialities.


I know, just using it as a clear example. Point is if your PR has a lot of low-level issues then I'm not going to start on the higher level review until you've fixed them.
