I did some digging, and this seems to be the project the author is using AI to work on: https://github.com/sublayerapp/sublayer https://github.com/sublayerapp/sublayer
You look at the PRs... there are 786(!) AI generated pull requests and an associated AI generated code review for each one. Each PR is about ~20-100 lines of Ruby (including comments) that implements an "action" for the sublayer system as a Ruby class. So probably something that could be handled by a macro expander. Or at least it's AI used as a fancy macro expander.
But yeah, there's about 20k lines of code right there easily. Although, because it's Ruby, it's not (much) of an exaggeration to say ~50% of the generated lines are a single "end" keyword.
The author is someone who before AI, would publish ~300 commits a year to Github. This year they are on track for 3000 commits using AI. But the result seems to be that PRs are accumulating in their repo, implementing hundreds of features. I'm wondering why the PRs are accumulating and not getting merged if the code is good? Is the bottleneck now review? What would happen if AI took over PR merging as well as PR creation?
