Almost every time I’ve reviewed a 1k+ LOC PR, even if it’s from a really experienced and good engineer, it has introduced a bug. Obviously I’m not gonna say it at work, but changes that big are too hard to properly review and consider all side effects and gotchas

It's also more difficult to bisect to find the actual bug. Small commits have a lot of advantages.
