It's the second time today when I see that the higher number of LoC is served as something positive. I would put it strictly in "Ugly" category. I understand the business logic that says that as long as you can vibe code away from any problems, what's the point of even looking at the code.

As the saying goes:

   Measuring software productivity by lines of code is like measuring progress on an airplane by how much it weighs.
150k sounds like a lot. I do have to wonder what the program does exactly to see if that’s warranted, but it sounds bloated.

Think of it as 60 man-years of work.

Remember, there used to be a time programmers productivity was measured in LoC per hour.

As such, this is high productivity! /s
