Yeah, this is insane to me. 2000 lines written well in an expressive programming language is a small but complete library. It's 15 to 30 code files. 2000 lines is just about enough to write a complete spelling and word-use checker with a persistence layer. It's enough to write a generic mass-balance process simulator, or a web security library, or a moderately complex workflow-management library, or a toy game. 2000 lines is a week or two of work. If your junior SWE is writing 2000 lines of code before anyone looks at it, you're basically letting them be raised by wolves.
