I'm not aware of a limit in my current role. There is, however, a leaderboard.

I used a tool called ArtMoney; apparently still actively developed and sold from an .ru domain.

*literacy is terribly low. Everyone using this site is blissfully inside a bubble of people who can at least read and write at a high school level.

New comment by gregoryl in "GitHub Stacked PRs"

If I'm following correctly, the conflicts arise from other commits made to main already - you've implicitly caught branch A up to main, and now you need catch branch B up to main, for a clean merge.

I don't see how there is any other way to achieve this cleanly, it's not a git thing, it's a logic thing right?

Are you mistaking your interactions with low level trades roles (the guy who's making bank fixing power sockets on the weekend) with say, the people maintaining factory electrical systems? or designing them?
