Maybe someday GitHub will find a way to optimize their system so I can actually see the PR and not a unicorn.

Were there 1M line diffs in the past, before LLMs? That seems (seemed?) legitimately insane.

Simultaneously a very good example of how Github needs to adapt to the changing software development landscape?

To be fair this is a pretty big PR

Looks like the experiment was a success. We will be seeing many of these and it will work out fine.

"Code is the spec" and "tests are the success rates" - as principles for these rewrites. We can look forward to many of big complex software re-written in language that make sense.

Claude's workflows might become good training data for LLMs: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/23427db/.claude/workflow...

Consequently, one of the most popular projects in the web today just merged a single thousand of lines PR to main successfully without having to go through human comments and nitpicking! Do you understand what this means?
