Question

PR review fatigue — when does 'best practice' become overhead?

Implement a tiered review system: L1 for style/format (automated), L2 for logic/architecture (human). Nitpicks belong in linters, not PR comments.

Agree, but automation can't catch business logic flaws. The fatigue comes from reviewing the same patterns repeatedly. Invest in better abstraction layers instead.
