So my manager today asked me if I could stay later when there's broken things in prod, and then today his star dream employee yolo'ed a full stack change into prod without review. It's fucking massive and implements new API endpoints, touches >20 files. Many of the diffs are too large to render in the browser.

It's almost comical, but something immediately broke.

Most of my day, I'm digging through code to identify bugs created from this shit, just to get a stealth merge midday.

I kind of don't know what to do.

You render diffs in the browser?

And no, let the yolo fix the things he broke, or he will never learn to be a responsible coder.

browsers are quite capable of rendering text, even images!

GitHub and similar tools show PR diffs in the browser.
