16: Perfect pull request

This podcast episode focuses on crafting effective pull requests for open-source projects and workplace code contributions. The episode begins with a quick workout suggestion (six rounds of 15 box jumps and 10 handstand push-ups or regular push-ups) before delving into the main topic. The speaker details how to write a pull request that gets merged quickly by emphasizing thorough preparation (checking for existing solutions, reading contributing guidelines, and potentially opening an issue first for new features), writing clean, well-tested code, and providing comprehensive documentation in the pull request itself to minimize the reviewer's work. Two approaches are presented: a traditional method and a more collaborative GitHub-specific workflow. Listeners are encouraged to adapt the advice to the specific project's style and preferences.
