why do you care how large the diffs are. isnt there any other way to measure if ai is producing value? | ||

Not OP, but I think it's not about producing value now, but how much it will cost in the long term. If you have unmaintaable code that is N times larger than a hand-written codebase, what is the cost to be? | ||

Its about the team being able to review the code to tell if its slop or not. It's hard to meaningfully review huge changes to a codebase for one PR. Just imagine if there are 5 PRs a day with 1000+ insertions. It leads to the production codebase being somewhat of a black box imo | ||
