If you’re a software engineer or work in tech, you might relate to this.

As a developer, I used to chase one goal: write the most beautiful code ever. Efficient. Optimized. Extensible. Reusable. All the -ables.

But let’s be honest — in the real world, we just want to ship solid code that meets the requirements, get a smooth “LGTM,” deploy without drama, and have a top-notch release.

Except it rarely goes that way.

Over the years, working with dev teams, I’ve learned that building software is so much more than just writing good code. We’re a team. We work together. We’re all responsible for the outcome.

Code reviews are a big deal. They’re the moment your work becomes a team contribution — and that’s when a lot of the fun (and chaos) begins.

At some point, I realized I was too focused on completing my own tasks, often leaving teammates blocked (more than once). We tried different tools to improve the process, but none of them really solved the problem — too clunky, too slow, or not designed for how we actually work.

Then I found Aviator. It feels like the tool we’ve been missing. From my first impressions, it addresses what teams actually care about:

PR' shaking changes, feature branch on top of a stack,  queueing PR's in the logical order, much more to learn.

I've being playing around today, just realized I was wishing a tool, but she was not far away. I was just simply broken, no more money to buy more extra time. The day just have 24h, what a mess.

It's amazing how the right tool can make all the difference. Keep exploring and optimizing your workflow—you're on the path to truly efficient teamwork!
