That quote is why you can't take anything seriously on the internet about running software or software engineering seriously.
There are to many people that just don't know what they don't know and act they have things solved.
I think the software world has like two bubbles of people around the scale they work with and they don't understand each other or run into each other, except in interviews and on the internet.
- esprehn 3y agoIt's funny you say that because as someone in the large scale bubble when I read 2 million lines that didn't seem that large. Other companies of similar size are dealing with 2-10x larger web apps. Ex. https://stripe.com/blog/migrating-to-typescript https://stripe.com/blog/migrating-to-typescript Which talks about 3.7m lines at Stripe.
- chriskrycho 3y agoYeah, and I have it on good authority that there are JS/TS apps more than 10 times larger than that at Google. Scale is relative.
