bums.blog Mission Statement

Build. Unblock. Merge. Ship.

Our mission: to get every change into main. Safely, quickly, and one at a time. No team should have to choose between going fast and using protection.

Why we exist

Every PR looks great on its own. Then two of them try to get into main at the same time, and things get messy. Somebody finishes early, somebody gets hurt, and the whole team spends the afternoon working out who's responsible.

Unprotected merging is how accidents happen. We're here for the teams who are done pulling out at the last second.

What we do

BUMS tests every change against the main it's actually going into, not the one it was fantasizing about when it branched.

Your PRs line up, get checked, and go in when main is ready for them. If one can't perform, we show it the door and the next one steps up.

What we stand for

Build

We always test first. If it's clean in the queue, it's clean in main.

Unblock

One PR that can't finish never ruins it for everybody else.

Merge

Strictly one at a time. We're open-minded, but main is monogamous per commit.

Ship

Main is always ready to go. Whenever you are.

Our promise

No conflicts. No surprises nine months into the project.

No awkward morning-after message asking who broke the build.

Casual coupling, long-term dependencies, and a main branch that's satisfied every single time.
