What scale of frontend apps do you work with? Specifically, how many developers are simultaneously writing features and merging code in a given week?

I'm assuming your question is loaded in an attempt to say "You haven't worked on any large teams then"

But I have, in a fairy large project (completely rebuilding all of Deere & Co's internal systems, upgrading from literal terminals to web app) with >100 developers merging in hundreds of PR's a week.

We've never needed something like this.

Do you work on deere.com? I haven't seen a conditional comment in a while!

I think that site could benefit from something like this. The CSS on that site is, um, not optimized.

No, I worked on internal facing stuff that was only accessible by dealers

Sounds like simple crud apps that barely need styling and can use existing component libraries.

Ah yes, a 5 year, hundreds of engineers, multi-million dollar project to take 1980's terminal computer ordering system for millions of Deere dealerships and bring it to the modern ages through a web app is just a simple crud app that barely needs styling.

Do you ever just re-read your replies and think "I'm being ridiculous" and decide NOT to post it? You should do that more often.
