A few weeks later, @hellovai and I paired on shipping 35k LOC to BAML, adding cancellation support and WASM compilation - features the team estimated would take a senior engineer 3-5 days each.
Sorry, had they effectively estimated that an engineer should produce 4-6KLOC per day (that's before genAI)?
