The only way I have been able to get away from Ben's law is to have an automatic system that does builds before code can get in. This can be server side, user side, pre-commit hooks, pull-request bots or anything that catches build breakage before they can get into the main branch. But without something automatic in place the project is destined to fall to Ben's Law. Ben's Law - When every developer is committing to the same branch the odds that a commit will break the build increases as more developers contribute to the project. http://benjamin-meyer.blogspot.com/2014/01/bena-law.html http://benjamin-meyer.blogspot.com/2014/01/bena-law.html
