Looks like peer review is awfully similar to a pull request

Explaining the peer review process to my brother, a carpenter #academia #phdlife #AcademicTwitter

Imagine spending 2 years making a table and then showing someone and they tell you every tiny detail wrong with it

So you fix everything they say and then show some more people and they tell you everything STILL wrong with it

One of them asks why you made it with 4 legs when it would have been much more stable with 8 legs

Another says this table is too heavy, it should have shorter legs 240 PM

The third one says the table is fine but did you consider making a chair instead?
