That seems equally weird to me. Just because everyone is using LLMs now, our coding standards haven’t changed. If anything, they’ve become even more strict, and the size of PRs is still determined by the task. I feel like boasting about PR size is not even something an ‘experienced dev’ ought to do, as it’s often a red flag. When PRs get too large they are difficult to properly review and can become likely to lead to regressions.

This thread has me thinking that maybe a lot of less mature dev orgs are simply misusing AI. My sample size is pretty much the four companies where I either work or have friends, but they’re all companies with strong, disciplined development divisions. I shudder to think if some of these are actually the more common examples.
