<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@jacqueline" class="u-url mention">@<span>jacqueline</span></a></span> i&#39;ve never regretted giving commit access to someone who i felt has a clue in my entire life, interestingly. the llvm policy of &quot;you get commit access after you get one commit accepted&quot; has made an impression upon me</p><p>(only a single person has ever lost their llvm commit bit adversarially and nobody talks about that)</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@jacqueline" class="u-url mention">@<span>jacqueline</span></a></span> on reflection, i think my equivalent of your approach here is slamming that LGTM the moment i feel like the author has any clue whatsoever what they&#39;re doing</p><p>either they do, and it saves me time<br />or they don&#39;t, and one of us will eventually figure it out by other means</p>
