I YOLO Commit AI Code. Trying Stacked Diffs.
In this video, Tomas (co-founder of Graphite) does a live demo from scratch showing exactly how stacked diffs work. Breaking down those massive PRs into small, reviewable chunks that you can actually read. This is a real workflow from Meta/Google engineers, not a toy example. Testing if it actually solves AI code review fatigue. ⚠️ FULL DISCLOSURE: Graphite sponsored this video and is giving everyone 2 months of their team plan for free (no credit card needed).

Create branches for each logical chunk of your feature 2. Each branch builds on the previous one (dependencies) 3. Use `gt submit` to open all PRs at once 4. Review each small PR independently (easier to catch bugs) 5. If changes needed mid-stack, use `gt modify` to auto-rebase 6. Merge from bottom up (base → dependent → top) WHY THIS MATTERS FOR AI CODING: AI agents generate tons of code fast. That's great for velocity, but terrible for code review. No one actually reviews a 500-line PR properly. Stacked diffs let you: - Break AI changes into reviewable pieces - Keep coding without waiting for reviews - Catch bugs in isolated changes - Avoid massive rebase nightmares - Ship faster with better quality GET YOUR FREE GRAPHITE TEAM PLAN: 2 months free with code STACKWITHRAY ✅ Unlimited AI code reviews ✅ Graphite CLI access ✅ Web dashboard for stack management ✅ No credit card needed Link: https://rfer.me/graphite THE ADOPTION PLAN: This is the workflow I'm introducing into my AI coding projects in 2026.
