alt Hacker News> Regarding large monolithic commits, how do you even know where to start reviewing in a large PR?
What I’m saying is that large commits shouldn’t be a thing without out of band discussions (formatting, design refactoring, features merging). With such knowledge, it’s easy to glance at the code and understand the implementation.

Not every project can afford this.

I really doubt that this is true for large, legacy code bases, where one is only familiar with a small part of the system.
