It is. Let's say we are talking 30 person-years, that is 60000 days. It means 100KB of text written per day and engineer.

- stkdump 6y agoCan't edit anymore, but ofc the math is off by factor 10: 'tens of engineers over more than a decade' is more in the realm of 300 person-years. Still 10KB per day and engineer, which is maybe 200-500 lines of code. Far above average still, but approaching something realistic. This is if we are talking 6GB with full history and without any compression.
