As a means of decomposition: Decompose problems to manage complexity
To allow for Experiments must be safe to fail
Considering that Small increments act as save points, the effect is that these Small improvements compound over time both as a value-producer and a value-enabler.
Continuous integration as a development practice therefore encourages working in small increments that are easy to integrate (Small increments act as save points), or revert.
As Small increments act as save points - this development practice avoids huge merge conflicts incurred from the pull request model - Pull Requests encourage rework and therefore Pull Requests can hinder Continuous Integration
