Yeah imagine one of your colleagues doing this to your code base...


Imagine a reviewer that doesn't block that patch immediately.

Of course, there might be some exceptions like if the codebase for some reason has some massive fixed tables or imports upstream files that may get updated occasionally. Those end up as massive patches or sets.


As an SRE, I completely agree. I've had some more success with claude code recently. I use it as a fancy find and replace, if I explain it in detail what I did in one file it can repeat it in a dozen other files. Which is super handy, like once every 2 days, when I have to work in a legacy monorepo.

Whenever I try to use it to generate code from nothing I end up losing more time than winning.
