It's obvious from the context here what the intended meaning was. Everyone makes typos sometimes.

It is literally not clear. OP could mean that they read hundredths of lines of code for each code they write ie 100 lines of code written and 1-3 lines read. That is in fact literally what they wrote.

I read hundredths (100ths) of lines of code for one line of code I write.

My last PR of three lines of code moved into conditional tasked me to read about 8000 lines of code to understand and justify the reason to do exactly that.
