  Would you really want everyone in the world looking at every end of day commit before you’ve refactored it into something vaguely passable?

  Honestly, it has been fine. Almost nobody really pays attention to anything they don’t care about, and most people who do care tend to be pretty helpful.

  Heck, I’ll sometimes make a wip.diff file and scp it back and forth between work and home machines just because the code feels not ready for other eyes.

    While I’m way too lazy to do that myself, I respect you for the skill and effort.

  Who tf looks at feature branches unless it’s particularly relevant to them or they’re reviewing a PR?

  It’s not like they merge half-baked features straight to master every day lol

      You can’t review changes in the next build before it’s actually released?

      Currently you can still keep up with the master branch. PRs are merged a fair bit more often than new builds are made.

  When that code is used on devices all over the world for many very important tasks, yes.

    Why do you feel that Vs when merges happen?
