Isnt 200k a ridiculous small "codebase"?
- spamizbad 2y agoGotta give them credit actually: A company that's been around for a 14 years has managed to keep their codebase small.
- that_guy_iain 2y agoI've worked at companies that had been in operation for 4 years that had multiple developers work on it and was only at 40-50k. My current project is at about 200k. One company had a monolith with 20-30 people working on it 360k with a few microservices to start replacing monolith features being between 5-20k each. It's not a ridiculous small code base, it's about average for a lot of small to medium size companies.
- papichulo2023 2y agoJust to be sure, are you talking about tokens or LOC? I've never calculated the tokens for the codebases I work with but usually a 2k token output is fairly short one, like a small sized file on your average PL. So I am extrapolating 200k to 200 files.
- that_guy_iain 2y agoLOC. I may have got context wrong. Oops.
