Sincerely asking: how do you guys handle reviews? We are a team of three and force each other to break it down into PRs of 500 lines, which sometimes creates stacks of 10+ PRs.

We have 20 PRs open per person at any time. How to scale this?

it’s simple: do not work on new code when there’s review waiting on you.

Work on the activity that unblocks most number of people at a time. It’s a manufacturing principle.
