Why iteration helps increase the merge request rate

The blog post explores the concept of iteration in software development, drawing parallels between fighter jets and software engineering, as inspired by John Boyd's Law of Iteration, which posits that speed of iteration trumps quality. This principle is embraced by GitLab, particularly within their Monitor:Health team, where a culture of fast, iterative development is fostered through a strong bias for action, low sense of shame, and emphasis on documentation to facilitate communication and efficiency. The team values delivering rapid results, understanding that mistakes are part of the process, and they prioritize creating an environment where developers can iterate quickly, leveraging feedback loops to refine their work. The focus on iteration helps the team maintain high merge request rates, ultimately enhancing product quality and delivering better customer experiences.
