The biggest mistake, AI or not, is dropping a 10K+ PR. 300~500 LOC is how far one should be going, unless they're doing some automated refactoring. E.g. formatting the entire StaticCompiler.jl source. This should've been a distinct PR, preferably by a maintainer.

I've seen this in other places as well.

The bottleneck is not coding or creating a PR, the bottleneck is the review.

  • This ought to be automated using AI.

    It could first judge whether the PR is frivolous, then try to review it, then flag a human if necessary.

    The problem is that Github, or whatever system hosts the process, should actively prevent projects from being DDOS-ed with PR reviews since using AI costs real money.

    • I mean this with all sincerity, try doing this yourself.

      The established projects are resistant to YOLOing their projects and running them on complete LLM autopilot.

      You are proposing a completely different development style.

      Fork Ocaml to Oca-LLM and Julia to Jul-AI and see how it goes.
