Good insights - thanks! I agree if you have a solid test suite you don't really need to worry about working directly on main. I think I'm probably in a similar boat to you - PR bigger features, and do small updates directly on main.

Would you care at all how your progress compares to other projects, in terms of time-to-release / failure rates etc, if that info were available?

Interesting - does that provide any kind of DORA stats?

Sounds interesting - give me a shout if you want a beta tester.

hah, I still use the 3.5mm-to-lightning adaptor for the iPhone with the Shures, and feel like a bit of a dinosaur.

I’m on my 3rd pair - the first two lasted about 3 years each, and then had cable issues. Post-2014 they’ve been indestructible.

Shure SE215 that have been going strong since 2014. I prefer the isolation to noise-cancelling headphones, although it can be a bit anti-social. You literally can't hear anything external though - great for focusing

Another vote for direnv 👆only in development though - on production I usually use a PaaS (Heroku, Netlify etc).

OmniGraffle (www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle) is great if you're on MacOS.
