I thought about it but people are so sensitive here. If they broke something and couldn't merge they'd probably raise a big stink, and then there's good odds the checks would be removed "because they're adding friction" or some nonsense. My boss has already warned me about staying in my lane.

These people have never done any automated testing of any sort. No linter. No unit tests. And they don't seem to want to.

    Well, yes, though my direct manager isn't the worst. He's trying to protect me from other teams that might get pissy.

    One of my friends is a product manager type and his analysis was basically "if stakeholders don't care it's not a problem, even if by any reasonable metric it is a problem". So. Here we are.
