Prediction: The Shopify CEO's Pull Request Will Never Be Merged nor Closed (joshmoody.org)

A blog post by Josh Moody argues that a pull request by Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke—claimed in some coverage to improve Liquid parsing performance—has serious issues, including reduced readability and failing tests. Moody says only a small fraction of specs fail but that the failures are meaningful, and he forecasts the PR will remain open indefinitely rather than being merged or closed.
