A graph shows code review scrolling speed staying low for small amounts of code, then rising sharply as the number of lines approaches 10,000. The joke exaggerates how reviewers rapidly scroll through enormous pull requests instead of carefully reading them. It is commonly sent as a reaction to an excessively large code change.
