> When we finally got pull-requests, we really felt thrown into the future. It was just great. But after a while I started to miss the direct conversations about code with fellow humans.

Why is this disjoint though?

Our newer colleagues are currently bringing in their first bigger contributions and changes to the config management. We're using short-ish lived feature branches of a week or two with pull requests.

This is good, because I can spend some time understanding what they are doing and I can prepare some ideas and examples for improvements, before we have a call to talk about these changes.

I'm also entirely willing to move my bigger changes into branches and a PR and spend some afternoon with the team to talk about good practices, like structuring commits, naming, ansible code structure, ... and see if other people enjoy that as well. Management wants more stability and broader understanding of our code bases, so moving slower and reading and discussing more code seems up that alley.
