Coding Time

Coding Time is the time it takes from the first commit until a PR is open.

• Short Coding Time represents less context switching by developers, small PR size and clear requirements, and great architecture.

• Longer coding time relates to committing large chunks of code, which could lead to a higher blast radius on production issues, longer review cycles, or sometimes even misses the review process due to fatigue.
