In praise of the stacked pull request

Read Original

This article advocates for using stacked pull requests as a solution to slow code review cycles. It argues that large, monolithic PRs overwhelm reviewers and slow down team velocity. Stacked PRs allow developers to break down dependent features into a chain of smaller, reviewable units, enabling continuous coding without waiting for each review to complete.
