Rubber-stamp looks-good-to-me approvals erode the code review feedback loop

Engineering teams often approve pull requests with a cursory looks-good-to-me without substantively engaging with the change, which quietly degrades the quality of feedback that code review is supposed to provide. Over time this erodes the effectiveness of review as a mechanism for catching issues and sharing knowledge across a team.

Early startup traction creates false confidence before product-market fit

Founders often misinterpret initial traction signals as validation of product-market fit, leading to premature scaling decisions.
