Well I have a document for you to read on this very question!

[flagged]

  • GP is referring to the submission, in case that wasn't obvious. It's opining as to possible reasons, given the author is one of the people who had a feature reverted.

    > Did someone not understand what went in?

    Unlikely, from the context.

    > Might someone have offloaded their thinking to some external tool?

    No, according to the author, since the features predate most current LLM assisted coding.

    > Did people stop caring?

    I'm not sure what this means. Presumably things were reverted because people cared enough to make sure it was good quality before being released.

    > Did someone not plan or design a feature in full?

    An admitted possibility

    > Were the timelines unrealistic?

    Depending on what you mean, that may be correct according to the article, but I suspect not in the way you mean.

    > Maybe with so many reverts timelines should be revised?

    It sounds like there was a very large increase in load in some of the people that would commonly review during this time period, and that may or may not continue to happen to a greater or lesser degree in the future, it depends on how LLMs advance in finding bugs and if there are other large waved of bugs reported.
