> Worked all day yesterday and got like 600 commits in. It was 2700; now it's over 3100.

Why? There's no reason you need to actually handle that many in a day, right? Pace yourself.

The author of this Tweet has been making waves by talking about using AI to write code without reviewing it. He wasn’t actually reading and reviewing all of that code himself.

As for the pace: His project has become extremely popular and got him a very nice position at OpenAI just today.

He also said he’s been reviewing the security related PRs, which has been his focus of late.

The reviews must be heavily AI assisted in order to get that sort of volume in.

Either way, it doesn't surprise me that this number is so high. Productivity chasing is the name of the game for AI, regardless of how sustainable or helpful this extra work done actually is

Even with heavy AI assistance, how well-reviewed can this code be? 600 commits in a day is one commit every 2 minutes for 18 hours.
