Key quotes
· 4 pulledCommits are a terrible metric for output, but they're the most visible signal I have. Something real changed in how I work, and the commit count is a side effect.
When I joined Tano, I was making every pull request by hand. Stage changes, write the commit message, craft the PR description, push, create the PR on GitHub. Standard process, it was fine.
It took me a while to realize this is grunt work. I was so used to doing it that I didn't see it as something that could be automated.
Automating the grunt work freed up mental energy for more meaningful development tasks.
