Finding The Ideal PR Size
from Runtime Rundown - JavaScript and Web Development · host Joe Boyle and Evan Cooper
In this edition of Runtime Double Time™ we cover "The ideal PR is 50 lines long" by Greg Foster. This guy looked at 10 million PRs to find the perfect PR size using 4 key metrics: time-to-merge, revert rate, average number of inline comments, and total code changed over a year. We use it as a sounding board to talk about different PR scenarios, how our review styles have changed through the years, and why people are afraid of <10 line changes.
