What stopped them before?

  Before they were not able to spam large PRs

    Why not? I'm pretty sure a developer could spam large PRs before and regardless of AI involvement is allowed or not.

      How would you generate enough large PRs to count as "spam"? You could add gibberish or delete random lines of code but it was obviously not plausible looking.

      this article is about the flood of junior developers who are producing enormous prs they’ve never seen full of untrustworthy code that a human hasn’t evaluated arguing that it’s possible to make them by hand isn’t just missing the point; it’s missing the entire discussion

        > arguing that it’s possible to make them by hand isn’t just missing the point; it’s missing the entire discussion >> Before they were not able to spam large PRs I was replying to someone insinuating that there was something I might have missed. Interjecting about the topical article, is a derail of this thread for some reason that is personal to you. Good luck with whatever.

      Obviously they could have. Obviously it's much easier now.

      You can cut down a tree regardless if you use a knife or a chainsaw. You can get to work each day regardless if you walk or drive.
