Undebt: How We Refactored 3M Lines of Code
How do web applications explode out to 3 Million lines of code? Yelp, to me, looks like a typical CRUD app and I would have been surprised if it were more than 100,000 lines of code. The software I develop is pretty large and typically doesn't surpass 40,000 sloc written in-house (i.e. excluding third party libs).<p>Does anyone here maintain such large codebases? Are they truly that big or are people just counting third party code and generated stuff?
