That... and I shiver to think of the amount of buggy code being churned out. 150k lines of crappy code isn't something to be proud of. More code = more points

That... and I shiver to think of the amount of buggy code being churned out. 150k lines of crappy code isn't something to be proud of. More code = more points of interaction = more bugs. Caveat: This is assumption based. I assume that much code is due to "quantity not quality". Boilerplate code, copy/pasta, 10 lines of actual code, 100 lines of test, etc
