Google has billions of lines of code in one repo. I don’t have hard numbers on file sizes, but a billion bytes is a gigabyte. A billion lines taking tens of gigabytes does not seem unreasonable.

Perhaps.
- Aloisius 2y agoGoogle's repo contains more than a single application.
- ChainOfFools 2y agoBut you see, now we know that GP knows how big Google's repo is, a detail from which we are perhaps to conclude I suspect, falsely, but who knows) they are or were employed as an engineer there, despite making an argument that seems well below the common sense threshold even to a non-engineer, Google or otherwise.

A billion lines taking tens of gigabytes does not seem unreasonable. Again, multiple apps/projects. But even so, I said the low GBs was possible and represents an extreme exception. Even with you stretching to find that exception, we're still far away from 450GB as a "normal" amount. So what is your point? My napkin math was off by a few GB? Congrats, got me.
