if anyone has worked in any development. (closed or open) you know half the time developers are lazy and just approve PRs. Linus Torvalds is like the glimming exception where he will call out shit all day long.
And in the event someone is pedantic enough to actually care: that person will be considered a pariah that all development stifles due to.
Tensions with the team for nitpicking etc;
FD: I have a situation like this now, I am not the one being picky- one of the developers I hired is. I had to move him out of the team because unfortunately his nitpicky behaviour was not well regarded. (he also comes from eastern europe and has a very matter-of-fact way of giving feedback too which does not aid things).
This cracks me up. I had the privilege of working on a team where about 5 or 7 of us out of 10 were extremely picky about code and documentation, all different nationalities. We would sometimes argue about a word in a doc for hours and didn't get a whole lot done. Feelings were hurt a lot, but what we did get accomplished was very high quality. I've also worked on teams where we were all cowboys and would sling code just about as fast as we could type it.
Both can be fun, but as you probably already know there is a balance.
