80,000 lines in 3 months is about 900 lines a day. You'd have to hit the
caffeine pretty hard, but it could be done. The 10 lines/day metric is for
bug free code, and wraps up the entire software development lifecycle I
think, at least coding+testing+maintenance, which justifies that tiny
figure. Really, us coders are not such slobs that we can only manage 10
lines of code a day!
I bet that 30,000 or 80,000 lines of code was riddled with bugs!
