I hate large change sets. They are impossible to code review. I would rather have death by one million patches than that.

- mackal 11y agoIt's 17 commits, each that do one thing.
- Too 11y agoSome times the problem isn't one piece of code that can be solved by adding an if-statement somewhere, some times it's the whole architecture of the module and the only way to solve that is to rip the whole thing out and replace it with something new. Reviewing such a "change" (it's more of a new feature actually) does require you to understand it completely and not just within the context of an insertion between two other lines of code. Being too scared to do such a replacement can easily lead to stagnation and fire-extinguishing that never solves the root cause of a problem.
