> At Stripe, my current project is to implement a speculative approach to testing and merging changes, this will allow us to scale merges to hundreds of commits per hour while keeping the main branch green.

I don't know how to interpret this sentence. What does the author mean when they say "implement a speculative approach"? Is this something that other monorepo orgs can also adopt? Or is it specific to Stripe?

Merge conflicts seem like an area with heavy potential for headaches that arises from the use of monorepo, and I wish the author would've shared deeper insights here.
