50 Haunting Shades of PR Dark Matter
summary
Data shows review is the longest bottleneck — coding can take up to 19 hours and deployment about 80 minutes yet PRs sit longest — so adopt a Continuous Merge (CM) rule engine. CM uses tools (LinearB with gstream) to classify PRs and auto-approve formatting PRs or auto-merge low-risk changes, while requiring multiple reviewers for multi-file, high-dependency PRs. The claim: codified rules cut cycle time, reduce context switching and give faster feedback by delegating safe work to automation and routing risky PRs to real reviewers.
