Wow, only 6334 lines of code? I find that to be shockingly small. It's less than projects I've worked on by myself for 4 or 5 months, which is nuts considering

Wow, only 6334 lines of code? I find that to be shockingly small. It's less than projects I've worked on by myself for 4 or 5 months, which is nuts considering they've (presumably) had 5+ engineers working on Next for a year now.
- dhh 15y agoI worked pretty much alone on the code base for the first three months. Then we were two people for another three-ish months. Then the last four months or so we've ramped up the team to have 4-6 programmers on, depending. But we're also ruthless about keeping the code base small. In the beginning I would go through the entire code base every week and prune it. I still read through the entire thing every now and then and make sure there's no excess fat.
- csallen 15y agoAh, makes sense. I didn't realize you guys keep things so small. Is Next going to have an API when it launches? And if so, do the stats posted include lines of API-related code? EDIT: And since I'm already asking so many questions, how do you guys feel about supporting older versions of IE?
- dhh 15y agoYes, we're launching with an API. The code stats include those for the API. We will not support old versions of IE. We support IE9+.
