30k PRs is such a meaningless figure though, you can't make anything of it. It entirely depends what's living in that repo. Adding localized strings, configs, things that change frequently, can easily move numbers like this by orders of magnitude. How big are the PRs? Maybe there's an auto-bug-fixer agent that runs around the codebase making thousands of single-line fixes per day. Who knows. The number means nothing in isolation. We used to scoff at bad managers for measuring the performance of engineers using lines of code, now we're using the same figures to judge AI. We've become the bad managers.
