No, the implication is that he's making a deliberately misleading argument, not that he actually believes that "***BILLIONS***" LOC across all projects is a meaningful measure w.r.t. software complexity (which would indeed require an implausibly poor understanding of software).

Twitter needs to make post-only accounts a thing, where you can just permanently prohibit any tweet with your at-name or hash-name in it.

This makes things a lot clearer to me. Napkin math shows on the order of 85k LOC per engineer there. I assume a lot of it is generated, a lot of it is old dead projects. But is there a rough code:engineer ratio you guys have in mind?

There's a *ton* of third party code that's in the repository too, so the real ratio is most likely waaaay lower than that.
