NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

In more complex architectures and deployments, it may not be immediately obvious that a build that depends on the code currently being checked in is broken. Developers trying to fix a broken build could find themselves working against a moving target, as the build is continually triggered by upstream dependencies. Pre-commit downstream build checks is a very simple technique: have a pre-commit or pre-push script check the status of these downstream builds and alert the developer beforehand that a build is broken.
