The response to seeing 10k lines of code in a PR is not to skim it, that is harming one's company. The response is to request the author to justify its size, and/or reject the PR and request that it be delivered in smaller sizes. If the author cannot, then the author needs their responsibilities reduced and to receive additional mentorship.

Skimming a PR is pure cognitive dissonance, dont do this and complain when your app turns into a dumpster fire.
