Do our private repositories need a CODEOWNERS file?

Wed, 04 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A private repository can have plenty of contributors and still leave people asking who owns it. Here’s where I’d use CODEOWNERS, and where it won’t help.

An agent can investigate a failed test, but I’d still want the pipeline to run it. Here’s where I think GitHub Actions and agentic workflows fit together.

AboutMe

I’m Luan Erasmus. I like building things, automating the boring bits, and figuring out why something broke. Occasionally, I’m the reason it broke.

Automation is a big part of what I enjoy about development. If I’m doing the same task by hand over and over, I’ll usually start wondering whether I can write something to do it for me. There’s something satisfying about turning a repetitive process into a tool that does the job consistently.
