Jamie and I just merged a huge 5k LoC refactor that has been in planning for a few weeks, but actually started to realize last Wednesday, and I can’t be more excited!

If you have been following my posts about protobuf, you can probably guess what it is!

A part of these 5k LoC we modified automatically through codemods (AST operations), but much bigger chunk had to be written by hand. At some point it looked like it might not happen, but we got through! 💪
