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.

I suspect many don't enforce it via GitHub functionality, but do implicitly require or recommend reviews.

How many contributors do these projects have? All multiple active?

    Don’t have data to answer that, but it’s a very good question. Weighting it by the number of contributors would make the data more honest, and probably more interesting. Will consider a follow-up based on this angle - thanks!
