He says that this is not 10,000 lines of bug-filled crap… but, unless you are explicitly verifying and testing the code, how would you know? And, what kind of solution needs 10,000 lines of code added to it daily? Then again, these could be separate solutions. but, still… this 10,000-lines-of-code-a-day thing seems strange.

Maybe they create 10k lines per day, but only 10% actually make it into production?

HTML/CSS? Anything UI is unnecessary verbose, and full of boilerplate code.

[edit] also any interaction with storage / database isn't fun either, unless you use some ORM frameworks, and then you have some even bigger problems.
