I work for a FAANG and I'm the top reviewer in my team (in terms of number of PRs reviewed). I work on an internal greenfield project, so something really fast moving.

For ALL of 2025 I reviewed around 400 PRs. And that already took me an extreme amount of time.

Nobody is reviewing this many PRs.

I've also raised around 350 PRs in the same year, which is also #1 for my team.

AI or not, nobody is raising upwards of 3,500 CRs a year. In fact, my WHOLE TEAM of 15 people has barely raised this number of CRs for the year.

I don't know why people keep believing those wild unproven claims from actors who have everything to gain from you believing them. Has common sense gone down the drain that much, even for educated professionals?

Yeh, 100 PRs a week is a PR every 24 minutes at standard working hours (not including lunch break). That would be crazy to even review.

Most likely * The rest of the team also reviews * If you're the founder, chances are that people will just accept reviews without reading much and give you priority in reviews

So I can see this happening in a practical sense.

Because he is working on a product that is hot and has demand from the users for new features/bug fixes/whatnot and also gets visibility on getting such things delivered. Most of us don't work on products that have that on a daily basis.

For comparison, I remember doing 250 PRs in 2.5 months of my internship at FB (working on a fullstack web app). So that’s 2-4x faster. What’s interesting is that it’s Boris, not an intern (although the LLM can play an intern well).

50-100 is a lot, but 15 a week should be normal with continuous integration, you should be merging multiple times a day

iirc he (or his colleague) did mention somewhere on X that most of the PRs are small

When people do PR counting then I assume they're dependabot-style stuff.
