This article reminds that coding is a minor part of the enitre process and relationship building, mentoring, communication etc - all the soft/social skills - are very important part.
This should be taught in schools and part of onboarding process in teams.
I will definitely mention this article for the rest of my team to read.
Most pull request advice focuses on technical aspects. This post is about something I think is more important: using PRs to grow influence, build trust, and make engineering more human (and ultimately more productive).
Surprising how often this is overlooked. Thinking about PRs as a communication tool rather than just a code diff — that shift alone can make a big difference.
It’s a powerful reminder that relationships, even in professional settings, are the foundation of success. By approaching every interaction—whether it's a pull request or a team meeting—as an opportunity to build connections, we can foster stronger collaboration and create lasting value in our careers. It’s easy to overlook the importance of these small moments, but they truly make a difference in the long run!
