- bpicolo 13y agoIt's one of the largest open source projects perhaps. But when you get into a large company like facebook who creates a hell of a lot of different things the numbers are way higher.
- Crito 13y agoThe kernel is measured in hundreds of megabytes. There are companies with codebases measured in terabytes.
