Rant about Github pull-request workflow implementation

Read Original

The article is a detailed critique of GitHub's pull request system, comparing it unfavorably to systems like Gerrit or email-based patch submission. The author argues that GitHub's simplified 'one-click' contribution model obscures the necessary iterative review process, encourages messy commit histories, and fails for substantial projects beyond trivial changes.
