Uh oh!

You open a PR at a quarter to three,
a two-line fix, a trivial change, a breeze —
but the bot flags a typo, the linter won't rest,
and CI is failing some flaky old test. 😅
A reviewer arrives with the keenest of eyes,
who spots your
varlurking in TypeScript disguise,leaves twelve inline comments (each lovingly placed),
and one little "nit" that can never be erased.
You squash and you rebase, you address every thread,
you resolve each suggestion, you un-request-review instead —
then silence... a cursor... a heartbeat... and then:
"LGTM 🚀" — the most beautiful four letters. Amen.
So here's to the reviewers who care enough to say
"this could be cleaner" before it ships today,
and here's to the authors who don't take it hard —
for the diff that gets better is the diff that lands stars. ⭐
Inspired by the universal developer experience of a "quick fix" PR that somehow takes three days — and the cathartic relief of those four magic letters.
