Why watch

Kent C. Dodds demonstrates the 'ship-pr' skill that automates the post-implementation PR workflow - including marking ready, fixing CI failures, triaging reviews, and Discord handoffs. The video advocates for spending human attention on risk assessment rather than babysitting CI bots. It covers a spectrum from reading every line to trusting agents on low-risk changes, illustrated with real examples including a medium-risk PR intentionally left unmerged.
