I checked whether well-known dev tools companies actually require code review before merging to main. Most don't (codatus.com)

I scanned the public repos of 128 YC-backed dev tools companies, 6,195 repos in total. I expected the companies building our tooling to enforce the basics on themselves. Only 2 of the 128 require any status check to pass before merging.

Startups hack things in to production?

Shocked, I tell you.

    Right? The part that surprised me was that most of them turn branch protection ON and then don't require any check to pass. So the gate is there, it just doesn't gate anything. Makes me wonder if private repos are the same or if the public ones just get less attention.
