#32“+1,000,000” changes in a single commit is insane.

I started looking at the commits, and it's basically solving the ,,tests not pass'' problem by changing the tests themselves. The real work of making it working on programs that are already deployed will be just starting now. The only silver lining I see is that the se…
Wow, This is definitely quite something for sure.
Can jarred comment about if he has read the commits or not too or respond to your comment, this has basically made me lose the small faith I had in what bun is doing if it turns out to be correct.
