Yet beneath that polished exterior exists a culture that quietly destroys accountability and discourages anyone from caring too much. A Simple Pull Request That Revealed a Bigger Problem Recently, while reviewing a pull request, I asked a few straightforward questions: Why are we passing an empty string to a component that doesn't function without an ID?
