Episode notes
Branches Increase Integration Pain
- Long-lived branches increase integration pain and merge conflicts significantly. - Trunk-based development minimizes this by merging small, frequent updates to reduce divergence.
Faster Feedback with Trunk Integration
- Merge work back to trunk quickly to get faster feedback from teammates using code reviews. - Faster release cycles also yield quicker feedback from production users.
Prioritize Automation and Reviews
- Invest in automation and continuous integration to catch problems early in trunk-based development. - Perform code reviews immediately after commits to maintain code quality and speed.
