Instead of "stacked diffs", isn't the more "continuous integration" solution to split a big feature into small chunks that actually get merged?

Having to rebase again and again is a symptom that a dev branch is living for too long.

I’m amazed that this comment is so low down

Stacked diffs seems like a solution to managing high WIP - but the best solution to high WIP is always to lower WIP

Absolutely everything gets easier when you lower your work in progress.

This seems idealistic. It's very normal to be working on a feature that depends on a not-yet-merged feature.

I invite you to look into feature flagging.

It is entirely viable to never have more than 1 or 2 open pull requests on any particular code repository, and to use continuous delivery practices to keep deploying small changes to production 1 at a time.

That's exactly how I've worked for the past decade or so.
