I completely agree. The irony for me has been how immensely helpful toolchains (PRs, awesome unit test harnesses, powerful CI systems, etc etc) actually kind of make things worse and support everyone missing the forest for the trees.

Everything has become dislocated from reality. "Issues" and "tickets" does not capture actual work to do. Unit tests and CI do not capture whether something is truly functional. Peer-reviews do not mean a given commit is stronger than otherwise... At the end of the day there's just no replacement for good judgment and experience, despite all the fancy tools that want to try to "gamify" it.
