dev meeting 2025 09 03

Meeting notes

Attendees: @Leonidas-from-XIV, @shonfeder, @ElectreAAS, @art-w, @punchagan

Development standards (@shonfeder)

• People feel that some concurrent PRs are stepping on their feet
• Should we have an implied mutex on the files we're working on?
• @robinbb disagrees as it creates bottlenecks on development that are not worth the occasional delays from rebases
• Are these refactors worth the disruption to other PRs?
• The Dune team at Tarides needs to be more proactive reviewing if we want to keep up with the PRs that are coming in
• There is a general issue on keeping up with changes on main
  • This is a separate discussion
• What is our governance?
  • There were some previous attempts to come up with something but they were never codified or adopted
• People at the Tarides working on Dune have merge rights, they can merge things if they feel that the code is fine
• If we want to move fast we should feel confident to just merge PRs when we think they're ready
  • This sometimes means that we need to take the time to understand the context and the system to learn ourselves whether a solution is a good one

Meeting times (@shonfeder)

• There were no objections to the proposed new schedule
• @shonfeder will edit the calendar from next week on to be on the new schedule
