why shipping 100s of prs makes sense there's always something to improve in your product's codebase. if your goal is to make customers happy as fast as you can, it makes sense to fix those things the moment you find out about them. we're no longer limited by intelligence! some of this is of course the result of the new way of working. ai is a net-benefit for codebases, but leaves behind more residue as people are less in tune with low risk areas. which you then have to squash by shipping more. of course it's a little bit different for frontend/design, where the (human) thought required for the average fix is higher. but in backend land, there are always obvious bugs waiting for you to eliminate them. i think many people would benefit from focusing on speed! it's the equivalent of the running advice to "just run more." unless you cheat your way out, it's hard not to get to a better product/codebase/engineering skills by simply trying to put up more prs. we're in the brief period where models still need our slight handholding and energy, which is why this advice still feels uncomfortable. but soon enough models will make the rate at which we used to evolve products feel dull.
