    yeah. it's a hard thing to develop heuristics around. churn v complexity is a great place to start. i think it's the best indicator of where you are losing valuable productivity.

    I wonder if there's a good dev heuristic, rather than putting line limits on files, put conflict limits. If you hit a merge/rebase issue it's a trigger for "should I extract something?" I bet that would lead to shorter user.[rb,js,php] etc

    If two devs are changing the same file at once either it has more than one reason to change or the underlying reason for change wasn’t packaged well in product planning (maybe?)

    Thinking back to ’s hot garbage architecture - should we account for lines changed in existing files differently to lines added in new files? Small diffs are “better”, but is that because changes to existing files are hard to judge coherently?

    (Or a terrifying return to the era of Jane owns “parser.c” and she’ll need to apply every patch)

    It’s a gross oversimplification but a directionally interesting question. Cheaper/easier merging at the textual level can hide a multitude of sins. If you had to manually combine every change it’d be an interesting forcing function on modularity

    Shower thought this morning: what if our currrnt industry focus on “the clean diff” is getting in the way of planning time and software design? If multiple devs are in the same file at once isn’t that a failure of architecture or process?

    Throwing a lick of paint on the installation flow. Looking pretty nice if I may say so myself.

    Need to scope your merge summaries & notifications by a specific branch? (TIL not everyone just uses the master branch) You can now specify base_branch in your config. See for details.

    is why we love supporting the engineers who have become managers and why we're building tools to help keep them connected to the tech.
