I have raised it in the past and will do so again. One of the problems is the manager has no software engineering experience and his view of "working norms" often go against mine.

Some of my complaints are fairly basic: test/review your own work before asking someone else to review it. This should be applicable regardless of industry.

It is applicable regardless of industry. If your manager isn’t technical, drag the nearest senior engineer into the conversation too.

As for the PR, don’t bother. “Hey this code you’ve submitted for code review doesn’t even compile. I’m your colleague, not a human compiler. Please don’t waste my time with this again” -> Close issue.

time to go next?
I've been thinking about that for a while, for a variety of reasons. This is one of the smaller ones. Probably after the holidays.
