Once PRs start to exceed 10k lines of code, they seem to become slightly “safer.”
I suspect this is because the extreme end of PR sizes includes refactors, which
maybe start including less functionality change and therefore have a slightly
lower chance of breaking. Alternatively, engineers may become progressively more
reluctant to revert PRs after 10k lines because of emotional anchoring and merge
conflicts.

- tengbretson 3y agoI would speculate that PRs of > 10k line changes are more likely to be deletions of entire modules or assets that were dead code already.
