With 1000 engineers and most PRs bein housekeeping we’re down to 10 prs per day per engineer. And as they said - this is engineers core job now. It’s a new kind of job.
Personally I can easily imagine one or two orders of magnitude more than that. They crossed the rubicon of not gating PRs on tests. In that land you can just roll out changes to production, a small subset of it, during code review to assess behavior. Or during key moments of coding.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently: what can we get if every change goes to production in 100ms, and what do we need to do to maintain stability?
As a user, dealing with that kind of churn sounds godawful. I'd pay (or more likely, switch to a competitor) to turn it off.
