are people really committing 5k lines a day without AI assistance even once a month?

I don't think I've ever done this or worked with anyone who had this type of output.

It depends upon how well mapped out the problem is in your head. If it's an unfamiliar domain, no way.

Maybe if you are copy-pasting some html templates, but then it is not “writing code”. Handwriting complex logic, at 5k sloc per day, no way.
