Only 2 of 128 YC-backed dev tools companies block unchecked merges - Codatus
Of 128 YC-backed dev tools companies, 44 enable branch protection but only 2 block unchecked merges. The full leaderboard, the four rules, and the pattern that explains the gap.
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.
