what's "review board"?

also, it's triply bothersome because... i've been doing this > 20 years. that certainly doesn't mean I don't make mistakes, and am never wrong, but it does get tiresome to have whitespace arguments take up time 2 decades in. On top of this, there's actually an automated linter that we all adhere to, but these are 'extra' style things that someone likes to focus on outside of the linter. It's just wasteful of the company's time, more than anything else.

Review Board is a Django-based code review tool, like if you had a separate service for merging PRs in Github? It does a lot of things wrong (e.g. doesn't keep track of commits in a change request, flattens all the changes) and 2 or 3 things right (fix-n-ship, multi-line comment)
