What is you are writing, what is the problem domain? What does need tens of thousands of lines of code written each day?
Because 100 lines of (debugged, reviewed) code per day is a good speed for seasoned software engineer. I assume that you can produce more than 100 lines of something per day as a prompt.
So, what is the problem domain that requires one to write several thousands of lines of code per day?
- senordevnyc 11d agoDid they edit their comment? I don't see anything about "per day".
- thesz 10d agoMy comment was to match productivity of human programmer to claimed productivity of their use of LLM. If they write 2 (two) lines of code, the combined output of them with LLM, as I read it now, is 20K SLOC. This is yearly output of human programmer. It is very much possible to write 100 lines of (debugged, reviewed) code per day for human. And these 100 lines of code would result, if we apply their LLM multiplication factor, in 50 (fifty) man-years of work! Even if they write very little code, say, one line per month, after a year of work they will get result of about 6 (six) years of human programmer. SQLite is 155K SLOC, about 8 man-years. And that what raised my question: what is the problem domain that requires so much code?
