It seems to me the level this comic is at is such that anyone who needs an aid like this would not be capable of providing a meaningful review on the pull request.

If the goal is to encourage rubber-stamping by bystanders, it might help.



It's valuable to make a difficult task easier, even for those who could do the task without the help.


Is it making it easier? I feel like having to parse a comic like this is more cognitively demanding than just RTFCode, and I'd still have to review the code afterward to confirm its accuracy and whether the approach is sensical.


I'd rather just have a high-level summary in English for that.

This seems to take dumbing-down beyond any sensible level.


People who dumb down seem to think it's easier to be dumb. Not everyone seems to agree, fortunately.
