I scanned the public repos of 128 YC-backed dev tools companies, 6,195 repos in total. I expected the companies building our tooling to enforce the basics on themselves. Only 2 of the 128 require any status check to pass before merging.

My old workplace had the same’ish. The developer team who owned the service had rights to disable branch protection. Disabling this would create alerts to the manager but allowed an on-call developer to make an emergency bug fix at 2am and get a postmortem review the next day.
