@avibryant do you branch at Stripe? If so, was that a strange transition coming from Etsy? Curious to hear your thoughts on this. -
@jewelia we do, though usually not for very long. I'd say typical is for a branch to be opened and PR submitted in 1 day, merged within 2-3. -
@jewelia I really like the pull request cycle: define a unit of work; get feedback, push commits to address it; iterate this N times; merge. -
@avibryant we have the same process (w/ v fast PR open to merge cycle); it has worked for us thus far but I'm always open to new things. -
@jewelia the thing I miss from Etsy is that discouraging branches serves as a huge encouragement to use feature flags, which is a good thing -
@avibryant yes agreed and we are horrible at feature flags (trying to get better!) -
@jewelia@avibryant you can do a PR cycle and still discourage branches. How often do you release? -
