now ask them to maintain the 250k lines, probably fine for rew more commits, but after that? Oh look, they left the company for the next ai-nonsense-startup.

    Does their app need to be 250k lines? Who knows... definitely not them.

    You made me wonder how many lines our product contains. Looks to be around 600k total right now. Granted, that's just the front end. It includes comments, blank lines, and lines that are just brackets and such. Also includes some dev only code. So, far more bloated than the actual code. Excludes code from any external libraries we use though.

    I don't have an easy way to see how many lines our backend is. A large portion of the files aren't for our front-end and I don't feel like figuring it out. Couldn't even tell you if it's more or less code than the frontend.

    I'd be extremely worried if someone added or re-wrote 250k lines of code in our code base in one month. We actually have regulations to follow.
