+# Title
+
+Small Pull Requests
+
+## Date proposed
+
+08-13-2026
+
+## Context
+
+Large pull requests have the following issues:
+
+1. Exhausting and time consuming to review
+1. Even more exhausting to re-review
+1. Higher likelihood of important things being missed
+1. Higher likelihood of suboptimal work being approved
+1. Slow feedback cycle. You can follow a suboptimal path for longer before getting feedback. This results in more wasted work.
+1. Big merge conflicts
+
+## Decision
+
+We will strive to create small, focused pull requests that fulfill a single purpose.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Code will get merged faster. Code will be of higher quality. Fewer bugs will be introduced. Less time will be wasted on suboptimal paths.
