Oh no! This is going in the wrong direction, isn't it? From the headline, I'd assumed the takeaway was encouraging small changes (and 1000 LoC is not "small" by any definition) and maybe encouraging the author to refactor at larger sizes to make human review easier. Instead it's just bypassing human review entirely?

Code review is such a key step to the feedback loop and helps keep people current on the changes as they come out. Skipping that entirely is just inviting disaster.
