<p>Not OP, but I think their point was the corollary of that.<p>Yes, obviously bad use of a good tool is dangerous. But correct use of a malfunctioning tool is also dangerous.<p>Millions of people understand when they get in their car that there’s a tiny chance the car will crash/explode that day through no fault of the driver. Most do not have the knowledge and competence (or even the time) to thoroughly check the engine every day to guarantee that that won’t happen. They get in anyway.<p>At some point you have to trust in something.</p>

<p>The way my company works, it doesn’t break it. You approve and merge, then any suggestions can be implemented in a next PR<p>That way the average customer doesn’t need to wait for your code style change or edge case fix</p>

<p>We do this too. In my team, my rule is: if it’s better than what’s on master, you approve and merge.<p>There’s no use making the customer wait for your questions, code style suggestions etc to be addressed.<p>Even if you request changes, you leave all your comments and make explicit which are the blocking ones and which can be addressed in the future.</p>
