> Frame feedback as requests, not commands On my team, PRs do not require approval to be merged by the author. This gives the author full autonomy. They can entirely ignore any/all feedback if they so choose. (However, they are also held responsible if ignored feedback results in problems after the work is merged.) As such, feedback is always framed as a suggestion, not a command or a request. Suggestions must be supported by evidence, or they’re challenged (or ignored). It’s a lot easier to discuss a suggestion than a command or request.
