- dsego 8y agoWe pile code on top of code, layers and layers, problems accumulate and multiply over time. Almost exponential LOC growth of an OS (just the linux kernel) up to 18 million lines in 2015. How many LOC does it take to read a text file from a website? Not less than 56 million. Example: Chrome -> Linux -> openWRT -> router -> FreeBSD -> Apache -> PHP -> Wordpress -> MySQL The 30-million-line problem: Even with new web technology "hotness" we're stuck with an OS on either side. Stuck with a bloated mass underneath anything we do. Rewriting is not really an option.
