You know that special kind of desperation when you've pushed your changes and now you're just sitting there, refreshing the PR page every 30 seconds, watching those review requests turn into tumbleweeds? Bernie gets it. The cycle is brutal: push code, ping teammates on Slack, wait an hour, ping again with "just a gentle reminder 👉👈", wait another hour, consider adding "urgent" to the PR title, contemplate whether you should've just merged to main and asked for forgiveness instead of permission. Bonus points if your PR has been sitting there for 3 days while everyone's mysteriously "busy" but the second you push a hotfix at 4:59 PM on Friday, suddenly five people materialize with "requested changes" faster than you can say "CI/CD pipeline".
