Pagliacci Memes

The classic Watchmen reference hits different when applied to code reviews. Developer needs someone to review their PR. Manager suggests assigning it to the reliable reviewer Pagliacci. Plot twist: the developer is Pagliacci. It's the "but doctor, I am Pagliacci" joke perfectly transplanted into the hellscape of being the only person on your team who actually does thorough code reviews. Now you get to review your own PR because nobody else will touch it. The system works.
