minus-squareColdus12@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-25 months agoIn what world? 1k lines is a lot… Even a few hundred can take hours if everything is unknown, code is legacy, and naming is bad. Like if there is a line like this memcpy(ptr, src, 4 * 6 * sizeof(real)); What’s that 4? What’s that 6? Is real a float? A double?? What are we copying, where, why??? This is a line I saw recently. 1k code is huge even if readable.
