IMO, to complete the picture, a comparison to trunk-based development is missing in this video. I agree that asking to review massive PRs is very expensive for everyone. However, I'd argue that big PRs are symptoms of a bigger, often organisational problem. If I understand correctly, you are proposing a tool that runs a series of rebases automatically. But I think the main problem is the fact that we need to start a PR in the first place. So, I'd say there are two approaches to working on a single codebase as a team: trunk-based and some sort of branching strategy. I think you need to expand on this one.

As a side note, the bigger issue is that many engineers don't understand what rebase does, and why merging 'main' into a 'branch' is <use your adjective here>. So, I'd say start there first.

"Stacking lets you make many small PRs easily, and without having to wait for review." I don't need a tool to do that right? I can just make small PRs.

Great idea but this is already possible with rebasing. Rebasing may incur some headaches but most of that can be avoided with good communication amongst teammates.

we got 99 issues and my branch ain't one

This is such a simple solution to a problem I've had for a long time. Thanks for the clear and well-prepared video!
