To offer an alternative perspective: I haven’t ever worked at a startup.

If someone wanted a PR review for 2500 lines, I would tell them no. I absolutely expect a developer to think twice when trying to make a change that large in one go.

When your corporation’s billion lines of code are the engine that helps generate $30,000 a minute, you don’t just say “meh, looks good to me.”

Furthermore, this is multiplied on my team, which is the framework team. A mistake in our auth middleware, http client, etc, could easily turn into a mistake on 50+ other teams.
