    around 4k commits in a week.

    i am not sure anyone actually understands what is going on under the hood of the project. looks like average slop.

    you? i hope you have read at least something of what your agent wrote about the project.

      Edward Kmett is a very respected Haskell developer.

        i see, but my statement does not become false because of it. his agent pushes several commits an hour in a continuous loop, meaning this respected developer is not involved in the process at all.

          The article gives a link to the discussion on Reddit. In it, Edward says "I actually did pretty much gave up sleep for a week. That said there are a few hour stretches here and there where I leave it on mostly cleanup tasks and doze off. you can find a couple of 2-3 hour breaks where it got hung up on approval while I was lights out.
