To catch bugs and avoid the bottleneck that is code review, you’re just moving the bottleneck to some point after merging the code, not before. Like it or not

To catch bugs and avoid the bottleneck that is code review, you’re just moving the bottleneck to some point after merging the code, not before. Like it or not you still have to stop what you’re doing to identify a bug and then fix it, which takes time away from planned feature work. You’re not optimising anything, you’re just adding fragility to the process. As I said before, an issue localised to a PR in review blocks one person. An issue that has spread to staging or prod blocks the entire team.
