I absolutely love this writeup! Thank you!

As someone running a company with around 50 people, and a quickly growing codebase, introducing testing as "a bar so low you can trip over it" is an amazing way to articulate exactly how i feel about this.

For us at first we did this by introducing tests on our most complex and commonly used code, that could be run locally. Moving onto using pull requests and having a more robust CI setup to enable more regular deploys is currently the task at hand.

Like testing, PRs are one of those things that seems like it will slow you down, but once you learn how to use them they can actually increase velocity (among many other benefits). It's been awesome to watch how good people have gotten at collaborating/communicating via PRs at Airbnb.
