Code Bucket Size Suggestion / Ideas

[ChrisCarini]

This issue is intended to capture different suggestions / ideas for 'buckets of code sizes' (i.e. what constitutes a 'small' change vs a 'large' change; or any terminology one would rather use).

Found on Reddit:

Tiny change - 1 file

Small change - 10 files

Big change - 50 files

Break this up right now change - 100 files

Of course, ChatGPT has some thoughts:

TL;DR:

Small: <=100
Medium: 100-500
Large: 500-1000
Very Large: 1000+

@microsoft has a GitHub App to label PRs based on side; sizes found here: https://github.com/microsoft/PullRequestQuantifier/blob/main/prquantifier.yaml

TL;DR:

• XS - 50
• S - 100
• M - 200
• L - 400
• XL - 1000
