> It's a ludicrous antipattern because person Y still needs to review the PR that person A generated for codebase X, and it will take them about as much time to wrangle the 2000 line PR (oh boy do LLMs love their mocks for unit tests) as it would have been for them to do the 50 line code change.

Do you have any users? Is the software important? I'd find a new job if I were you

> On top of that, it has "allowed" us to add feature after feature onto codebases not designed for them without refactoring. Is it good that this Flask API went from a purpose built service that interacted with the data analytics for product A stored in database X, and now our sales guys can sell product B, C, and D stored in database X? Uh, I'm sure it's great for them. Oh, and now it all can be stored in database X, Y, or Z depending on what the customer wants or what sales promised them. Great. Now I'm looking at a Flask app.py that's 12,000 lines of repeated code.

This is terrifying to me. I'm sorry.
