Andrea Laforgia's substack at a4al6a.substack.com. The name a4al6a is the bottom-of-the-URL slug, not a meaningful handle — the author is Andrea Laforgia. Writes long-form essays grounded in peer-reviewed software engineering research, large-scale industry data (DORA, Microsoft Research), and named practitioner sources rather than personal opinion.
The "Stop Using Pull Requests" piece is the first ingested into this wiki and is characteristic: pulls citations from Bacchelli & Bird, Hannay et al., Arisholm et al., Muller & Tichy, Williams et al., Nagappan, DORA, ThoughtWorks Radar, and stitches them into a single argument against blocking-async PRs as default workflow.
