100 PRs a day? I am sure this is hyperbole but otherwise you have a quote for me?


Here's your quote:

"employees report merging in hundreds of PRs per engineer per day"


100 feels low given I just saw dependabot do 8 in one hour. No AI required!

It matters a lot what size the PRs are, and this varies wildly from place to place. I spoke to someone who instituted a “no PRs over 500 lines” rule. I would refuse to even read something that big unless it was just a find and replace or boilerplate.


Who reviews these 100s of PRs tho? 100 PRs in an 8 hour workday = 1 PR every 4.8 minutes.

If I saw this happening in my org it would be a huge red flag, am I old?


It would matter a lot if there were 5 people reading/writing code or 100.
