With those kinds of numbers you don’t need logic anymore, just a lookup table with all possible states of the system.

Absurd. The Linux kernel is 30 million, Postgres is 2, windows is assumed to be about 50.

No, no. 100 trillion lines of code per day is great! The only thing better would be 200 trillion ;)

Copilot add a space to every line of code in this repository and commit please.

One of the many reasons why it's such a bad practice (overly verbose solutions id another one of course)

I think the point is that they are fantasizing about cutting their engineering workforce by 90% while maintaining the same level of "productivity".

Claude doesn't require paying payroll tax, health insurance, unemployment, or take family leave.

More likely those 100k engineers would shrink to 10k.

Thats still 10 billion lines of code per month if that insane metric were a real goal (it’s not).

That’s 200 Windows’ worth of code every month.

Totally agreed. The numbers are silly. My only point is that you don't need 100k engineers if you're letting Claude dump all that code into production.

Guess Windows 12 is gonna be a bit on the bloated side, Huh?

Surely 1 line of code = $1, so Microsoft can get $100b revenue per month. Genius plan.

So the recent surge in demand for storage is to because we have to store that code somewhere?

Maybe they can use 5 - 10 loc to move the classic window shell button so it's not on top of the widgets button
