It is. We’re what, a week into this exercise? Absolutely everyone criticizing it, with no exceptions, is behaving like a micromanaging middle manager who couldn’t even dream of doing the work themselves.

I half want to start a list of “people to ignore”, but such people tend to expose themselves in every other comment anyway.

Idk the pr author did merge it into main and talked about writing a blog post. To me that sounds like the author felt it was ready for public critique and feedback, especially for software with a fair bit of users

It may just be different expectations about what the `main` branch means. In my organization we don't merge half-finished work into `main`.
