I don't care about that. For me this is incomprehensible: Why the eff does Google have billions of lines of code in their repo? I hope they are not counting revisions (e.g., if a single 1 million project has 100 revisions, that's 1 million, not 100 million). I have heard that they do count generated code (so it's not all handwritten code). In that case again, I have two things to say: - that's a bad metric. I could overnight generate a billion lines of code with each line a printf of number_to_word of numbers from 1 to a billion. They want to measure the size of the repo? They should tell us the gigabytes, terabytes etc. But when it's lines of code, it's cheezy and childish to blow up the measure by including lines of generated code. - But more importantly, I hope the generated code is 90% or more of that repository. Because any less than that would mean that Google engineers have handwritten 100 million or more lines of code through out the lifetime of the company, in which case I have to ask: what bloated mess do you have on your hands? I thought you guys were the top engineers of the world.
