1000 PRs merged.
I never thought I’d make it to 100, let alone 1,000.
Looking back, I’m honestly surprised by how much I’ve been able to ship as a solo developer.
A lot of that comes down to the workflow. Git worktrees, multiple agents working in parallel, strong test suites, strict requirements for documentation and testing, local review before opening a PR, and tools like GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted code review have all helped me move faster without sacrificing confidence.
Pushing this much code to production without another engineer in the loop was nerve-racking at first. Every merge felt risky. Over time, though, the process proved itself. The tests got stronger, the reviews got better, and the feedback loops got tighter. As trust in the system grew, so did the pace of shipping.
I’m still writing plenty of code myself, but with each month the balance shifts a little more. The agents handle more, I focus on higher-level decisions, and the overall throughput keeps increasing.
On to the next thousand.
