Why. Whyyyyyy people need to comment this always? Why isn't just the Approve button enough? I so much hate it.
Ah, that's too boring. I have a range of responses to pick from to keep things interesting:
For me, no text means "I haven't really reviewed this properly so don't want to write anything that could be used against me if (when?) this breaks something in prod"
:100:
I reserve "ship it" to mostly trivial bug fixes.
If you're in a place with codebase analytics you want to have at least one comment on every MR - otherwise the system will start to think you're falling behind... I hate codebase analytics.
Analytics software like that has made my professional life so annoying at many times.
In my experience, the managers get confused when issues/PRs are closed without any comment.
Useless comments beat having them pop into your slack to ask "hey, did you review this?" with a link to an approved PR.
