> With trunk-based development, we naturally commit (and push) more frequently to mainline. If we commit repeatedly to a remote mainline, we produce more frequent builds. If we produce more frequent builds, we uncover more problems sooner, allowing us to fix them when they are still small and easy to fix. This enables us to Build Quality Into the product instead of testing quality later, hence leading to better quality.

Strawman, cicd can be set up such that branches build and test too.

I’m having a hard time figuring out what they mean by trunk based development here. They’re too deep in, you gotta zoom out a bit and tell folks what the problem is.
