Yep, I&#x27;ve done these and #1 (all code is PR&#x27;d and reviewed) can be a right pain for technical and political reasons, and results in much slower progress and poorer overall code.<p>PRs are a wonderful mechanism to provide smooth but gated access to the code for people outside the owning team who otherwise would not have it at all; but inside the team, I think: just because you can do it does not mean that you should.
