Principal developer Memes

The power dynamic in code reviews is a beautiful disaster. You think you're the boss because you're the principal dev who blindly approved that PR? Cute. Meanwhile, the senior dev who left 30 nitpicky comments is standing there like Bane, hand on your throat, basically saying "Your merge privileges are nothing. I am the gatekeeper now." Nothing says "I'm actually running this project" like turning someone's simple PR into a dissertation defense.
