I'm the most productive 10x software engineer ever: I just fixed CRLF inconsistencies on several large code bases. Literally touched every line on hundreds of files.

Next up: fixing the arbitrarily mixed tabs and spaces.

And make sure the newline/whitespace convention changes often.
I just deleted a bit over 76,000 files in one of our repos. GitHub shows it as "Infinity files changed", and refuses to display even a list of the files.
