Bridgy Fed is roughly 20k lines of code. If you add in all the other parts of the stack that we own - granary, arroba, lexrpc, etc - it's 51kloc total. (Excluding tests; those add another 81kloc.)

I'm not really proud of this, or embarrassed. Just wanted to put it out there for anyone who thinks more code is better, or worse, or an important metric. All code is liability. Results are what matters. Write code to do what you need to do, minimize it, don't over-index on it. Focus on results.

Thanks for sharing. We should normalize sharing lived realities of code expectations. My work is bucketed into like 10 lines: useful trick 100 lines: proven utility 1000 lines: mini app 3000 lines: product Anything more is really just “hill climbing” a product. Huge shoutout to modern platforms
