It's almost guaranteed with agents you could do the same job with less than half of 100k lines. I don't know whats impressive in lines of code generated by agent.

It just an anchor. If it were 50k would you say the same down to 25k? And if so how many more times would it apply?

The interesting thing is that it was manageable solo (in many ways it's _more_ manageable solo+AIs than with coworkers+(their)AIs), and in such a short amount of time.

That's great, non-test code is only ~47k lines of code.

For a startup with limited funding, building a product is no more a bottleneck. every one doesn't have the same access to funding!
