A developer shares a Jujutsu (jj) workflow for reviewing large pull requests by duplicating a colleague's change, inserting an empty parent commit, and progressively squashing reviewed files into it. This approach tracks review progress natively in version control, keeps the reviewer in their familiar IDE environment, and avoids the cognitive overhead of managing Git stashes or staging areas. The post draws parallels to TigerBeetle's local review approach and Jane Street's Iron 'brain' concept, and discusses current limitations like IDE integration and handling PR updates.
