Why does OpenClaw have 800,000+ lines of code?? Isn't it just a connector for LLM APIs and other tools?

For comparison, the C++ and rust code in the ladybird browser is about 573,000 lines of code.

I assume it is mostly or entirely written by AI, so that tracks.

They are probably counting dependencies. Also, it's vibe coded, what do you expect!

I used to think that LLMs would replace humans but now I'm confident that I'll have a job in the future cleaning up slop. Lucky us.
