    I’d be pulled up at my job for any PR exceeding a few hundred lines. I don’t even know what they’d do if I just dropped a 15000 line stinker.

      Just a few hundred?

      That’s seems awfully short no? We’re talking a couple hours of good flow state, that may not even be a full feature at that point 🤔

      We have folks who can push out 600-1k loc covering multiple features/PRs in a day if they’re having a great day and are working somewhere they are proficient.

      Never mind important refactors that might touch a thousand or a few thousand lines that might be pushed out on a daily basis, and need relatively fast turnarounds.

      Essentially half of the job of writing code is also reviewing code, it really should be thought of that way.

      (No, loc is not a unit of performance measurement, but it can correlate)
