Yes, a 15 year old code base written by hand obviously, not by a coding agent from the start.

At the same size I only heard of AI generated projects reimplementing compilers and browser engines which come with amazing tests written by hand, but even these projects generally don't become reliable enough to use.

Well we also have an AI first code base, new product 160k "LoC" by the same measure. Not even a year old.

That 1.9m code base, within the same time frame as the 160k was created? <10k by the same measure.

10k I can comfortably throw at a local agent on my system (see recent posts in my history). Whether I can keep it that small is another question I suppose lol!

I agree 10K LOC is too little, I was saying "a few 10,000's of LOC"
