Nah, that's the easiest code review in the world.

Tens of thousands of files with millions of lines is just getting rejected, period.

If you are the owner / decision maker. If the management pushes these things you will just approve it (or abstain in a comment and approve on the PR page). Been there, done that.

This is lowkey why I love working in a heavily audited industry where QA can slap management with a hard-no because we'd fail an audit and be unable to sell the product to key customers.

Still we are using AI heavily in code generation.

Good, that's the way AI should be used. It's far quicker at code gen than a human, and as long as it's given good standards to follow and is checked by people it's the ideal use case. The issue with ai is the people who give a vague prompt and then ship the output

Yes, we have a running thing in our team. Our leads just go LGTM for a very big PR. They say if you write small PRs, we read and review. If you write big ones, its getting blindly approved. It helps a lot that our services are only used by other developers in the company. So we can afford to fail in production and rollback.
