Reverted a teammate's agent PR that broke main and now I'm the asshole?
A developer reverted a teammate's 9400-line PR after it caused 500 errors on the checkout endpoint in staging, despite CI being green. The teammate, whose PR had a null path flagged by coderabbit/claude that was ignored, accused the developer of being a "control freak" for reverting it instead of contacting them first. The developer questioned if reverting a breaking change to restore functionality is now considered rude, as their intention was simply to fix the main branch.

They merged a 9400 line PR out of Cursor on Friday afternoon. CI was green. Twenty minutes later staging was throwing 500s on the checkout endpoint, so I reverted it and left a comment saying what broke. Monday standup they go "you could have just pinged me to fix it" and call me a control freak in front of the whole team. The part that gets me is coderabbit / claude had actually flagged the null path in review and they resolved the thread without changing anything, so I don't know what is supposed to catch this if not me. Is revert first and ask after actually rude now? I just wanted main to work.
