seunthomas: hmmm..... interesting.. I can see that nothing logical will ensue at this point so i gats to leave you alone. But think about it. Your 100k+ lines of code sounds (and is probably/highly likely ) fishy. if you did it in 8 months as u claim, how long did the testing take. the architecting or was it hack as you go. etc Then the testing etc And this was your first large real project. When you were done, the first thought on the non-programmer client mind was "great, now lets count it-manually" . Remember if the final code was 100k+ lines, the actual output after refactoring could be twice that!! Lets recap: facebook was about 10k , lets exaggerate and say it was 20k, initially, and it was concerted work written over months. youtube was about 10k, written over 3 months. couchdb was about 20k, written over some months. emacs was written over i think 5 months, i think its original code size was btw 30-50k. not sure. so based on this estimates, a 100k+ could take longer. but if done in less time,it means you put in looong hours. then after that, you and your boss, got giddy and all your boss wanted to do was "count code"!. c'mon dude. clean your head. 4 Likes |

I'm not saying if facebook took x months and contained 10k lines that you must produce same. But you can get a general idea of how much code a single programmer can produce, by surveying other professional motivated hardworking intense coders too. Of course they'll always be exceptions. But eventually, there's only so much a single person can do. 1 Like |

seunthomas: Non programming client wanted to count code with you-manually!! He had nothing else to do! And he patiently waited, held the calculator (or used his phone calculator) to compute while you patiently clicked through 100+ files, scrolled down, peered at the line number and reported it to him. Who looks the clown here! us or you. When you were on the 25th file , didnt it hit you both to automate it? |

So your client was a former elite programmer? is that the new plot twist ![]() or were you two pair programming but i didnt see where you mention it because i was too carried away with my "assumptions". Like i said, a little exaggeration drew more people to participate in the thread who wouldnt have. So, maybe, you should try your hand on marketing. you were good. |

FincoApps: Your getting me wrong. I'm not saying it's difficult or scary. If you can write 1000 lines you can write 100k-eventually, but i'm assuming you're trying to produce a professional product: modular, extensible, easy to maintain, readable,well tested, and robust. producing 100k+ of decent critical business software in a couple of months is a stretch, given productivity of other developers - i.e y i brought up examples of facebook , youtube etc. Sitting down after, seemingly overextending yourself for months, to count code - manually - at the suggestion of a possibly non-programming client, makes the story even more improbable. It's little things like these that makes people raise their brows. Eventually , you may find the stories are usually not as authentic as they were made to sound. usually made-up. |

asalimpo: I guess these your post refers to me too indirectly. The project I am referring to is actually an ongoing project that I have temporarily stopped work on because of issues with the develooment pc.I am working on retrieving my files and cintinuing the project on another pc.At the monent the files are trapped in the development PC. By December this year I would have spent 3 yrs on the project. If not for the current challenge I was hoping to finish this year. It is a commercial app that I hope to introduce to d market once completed. Is developed based on an idea of mine. It is being written written in C/C++ using MFC. The apps have over 100 dll with each dll containg several functions. That particular visual studio solution takes relatively longer time to load compared to other solutions in that pc. I never really counted the number of lines, only that while debugging I often step into a the code and the debugger shows line number as I debug. |

seunthomas:Inspire other ambitious schemers with minuscule self esteem who won't mind blatantly posting lies on random forums just to belong to the imaginary big boys crew that have written applications spanning over 150,000 lines of code? edakun!! The other day I was following you upandan, imploring you to mercy and just show me one online deposit of your codes. So you get 150000 lines of hand written code and there is no single place online where you offer assistance or can boast of 10 lines to show for it. No Git repo, no community know you. I just dey wonder, we get these developers with 150000 lines of code for this nairaland and the programming section is not bubbling or even thriving.

Re: How Many Lines Of Code Is Your Largest Work So Far? by Nobody: 6:46pm On Oct 13, 2016 |
People just dey lie anyhow for this thread. If you are writing 100000 lines of codes, plenty things are involved: 1. Your codes are not optimized, you are probably using 20 lines for what can be done with 1 line. 2. You copied and pasted many codes from somewhere else. 3. You are using procedural where you are meant to use OOP approach. 4. You are repeating the same codes unnecessarily in several places. 5. Most of the codes are generated by maybe a compiler 6. You are counting codes from libraries or resources you copy and pasted. But if you are trying to tell me you wrote those lines of your code yourself INSIDE A SINGLE FILE? maka why? why you come dey lie like this now? 2 Likes |

Nmeri17 has said it all. I'm a novice, but the sort of segregation that goes on, in this place, is quite bemusing. It was on this same forum that someone said 'If you write a program that just does database calls and retrievals, that you're not a programmer'. I mean how would novices thrive? With all the constant bickering and braggadocio stunts? Goes back to writing my 12 lines of codes for database connection. I'm not a programmer. At least by una standards. 1 Like |

Everyone started like you, they also had their own pressures from others but they came out well. Stop pitying for yourself and go beyond your 12 lines. You have just 99988 lines more... And just ignore guys like @dhtml18, they will make you comfortable with your little. If you dont work hard under pressure, you are in the wrong profession. |

^^^^Hey, i might have to challenge you once again to match up your work against mine = REAL WORK THIS TIME, AND WE SHALL VERIFY THOSE WORKS USING ANY MEANS AVAILABLE - IF IT IS A WEBSITE, WE MIGHT ASK YOU TO ADD A META TAG WHICH WE WILL VERIFY HERE TO PROVE OWNERSHIP, IF IT IS AN APP, WE MIGHT ASK YOU TO ADD A SMALL FEATURE WE CAN TEST. If you are up to this, just say YES and we can get started right away. If you have been working longer than me as you claim, your portfolio should beat mine - this will be a real battle not just about running mouth anyhow. If you fail at this, then I will know you are a real fraud, and you should just shut the crap up where I am talking. You may be able to run your mouth more than me, but whether you do a better job or not, you are yet to prove. 1 Like 1 Share |

Anyway just a little analysis, average size of JPA web application with 5-10 tables would be close to 5-10k. By the time you do your models,repositories,etc you are already about 1-2k lines. The application logic,controllers,security etc Anyway person wey never enter plane before go imagine say people no fit go lagos to abuja in under 1 hour. How can dat fit happen?

Sibrah: If you are smart (I strongly doubt that), you would have known what type of project i and some others are talking about. You did not pay us and neither are you the client and for a very folly laden fellow you probably dont know what an NDA is. Your patron @dhtml18 talks about legal issues with NSE on another thread, at least he has some understand on legal issues may be you hitting him up. I doubt his story on that thread sha because its been a while they have been trying to get realtime data. Most stock exchanges dont provide real time trading data, they do that to compensate for trading errors. The best you will get is an hour data. But i wont argue with him cos he may have an insider at the exchange feeding him real time data. But to the best of my knowledge its not possible to get second by second trading data on the NSE. |

seunthomas: I knew you were scared of challenge and will actually back down. Unfortunately for you, most people that have been on nairaland for long actually used the NSEAPI - so your trying to disclaim that is a waste of time, and making yourself look more fo.olist than you actually are. I knew you will never accept my challenge because you will be defeated just too soundly - such that you will have to run away from this board permanently. For your information, I have the LEGAL STUFFS SENT TO ME BY NSE, and i could publish them to SHAME you, but it is not necessary since I dont have to prove myself to anyone (especially not a FRAUD like you). 1 Like 1 Share |

If I have not done something that is WORTHY OF ATTENTION, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO THREATENED. AND IF YOU DOUBT ME, CALL THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT (I CAN GIVE YOU THEIR NUMBER) AND ASK THEM ABOUT THE NSEAPI.

dhtml18: First of all you dont have too much experience in this kind of thing. The letter they would send to you is a cease and desist which you can choose to ignore for 2 reasons: a. The server your work is hosted on is not in Nigeria ( or na naija you host am). b. The content you are providing in API format was crawled from the public domain. You needed only to put a disclaimer at the footer of your site and acknowledge you dont work for NSE or affiliated with them in anyway. If you had done that they would not have any legal grounds. You just get a good lawyer who is willing to defend you for free and might even get a very large chunk of cash at the end of the case when you sue them. But you no sabi anything and you no seek advice. Why will i now want to be struggling with a kindergarten ![]() |
