Matt Pocock(@mattpocockuk):Tip: get your agents to classify the merge danger of the PR 1. Is it a one-way door, or a two-way door? One way doors involve expensive migrations, or are hard to reverse. They need thorough review. Two-way doors are easy to revert. 2. What's the blast radius? If things go wrong, how bad will it be? Large blast radius: closer review Helps you apply your precious review time where it's actually needed.
