Someone should do a deep dive into developer productivity after LLVM switched from Phabricator to GitHub. How many other major projects have done a switch like that?
- ajkjk 2y agoBetter it be a deep dive into developer sanity, a more important but comparatively under-valued metric.
- jeffbee 2y agoFor me, GitHub PR review drives me crazy. It's good for exactly one round of exchange. After that nobody can tell what the heck is going on. So my self-reported mental health would be worse. But on non-subjective metrics it seems like LLVM PRs on GitHub are gathering noticeably less discussion than they used to enjoy as Phabricator diffs.

It devolves into a heap of garbage. In comparison, with (incremental) mailing list-based review, it's not difficult to go up to v7 or so. > But on non-subjective metrics it seems like LLVM PRs on GitHub are gathering noticeably less discussion than they used to enjoy as Phabricator diffs. That could be a consequence of GitHub making it harder to comment sensibly.
