Assuming a full-time employer engineer works 20 days a month, that’s 50,000 lines of code a day.
Assuming an 8 hour work day, that’s 6,250 lines of code per hour, or 104 lines of code per minute.
This is humanly impossible without using AI and automation at every stage of the process. Good luck with that.
I’m guessing where we’re headed is software “engineers” becoming AI prompt “engineers” for design, development, review, testing, and shipping.
Buckle up, shit’s gonna get wild.
