DevOps 2.0 - Bigger, Badder with More Automation
summary
Claim: bots already create about 13.3% of merged PRs and on larger orgs up to 20–25%, half of PR lifetime is idle with no activity and a third sit idle most of their life; ~40% of dependabot PRs are trivial patch bumps. The solution shows concrete tooling: rule files in the repo, estimated-review-time signals that cut pickup time, a Ship/Show/Ask flow, automated merges or rejects (time‑to‑live rules like auto‑merge after two days) and selective CI to move cycle time from days toward hours.
