Years of hardwork

that's like 10K lines per hour since 23 years, are they also counting node_modules?

Are Windows and Linux just the kernels?

And as Firefox is on the list - what about Chrome?

@Oktokolo wouldn't they count chrome in Google?

@guiltyspark
Probably, but a comparison between Firefox and "everything ever made at Google" is meaningless.

Firefox vs. Chrome would make sense.

Google vs Mozilla would surely be a better comparison.

Is it really fair to compare them all with what goes into a fighter jet in a different era? It would obviously use an older and lower level language.

@cmarshall10450
My point isn't about fairness. It is about the entire portfolio of Google or Facebook being meaningless to me. I also don't have a clue about how they even dream of formally veryfying 24.7 megalines of code for that F-35 (or are they just accepting that the thing will occasionally fall out of the sky because software engineering is what it is)...

But i have experience working with Window, Linux, Firefox and Chrome.
How much code is needed by both parties to get a roughly equal feature set is something i find interesting to know. Less code almost always means less bugs - even when one code base is somewhat older than the other - when assuming equally skilled coders at both sides (which i do).

That said, you just reminded me of the meaninglessness of the code line count in general...

“Lines of codes”

Hard fail.

"Facebook" who? 🙃
