This is a partially valid point... let me restate.
About 200K lines of code is auto-generated.
A more appropriate estimation would probably be about 400k lines per year as some of this code did a big mass migration and refactoring during this time but I wrote that code as well. Just in the past.
KLOC is a shitty metric anyway.
I'd rather write 100 KLOC that worked vs 10000KLOC that was horrible.
1.5M lines is the output of a team of hundreds of developers over years. I don't believe anyone would write a million lines during a job.
2PB a month, is 125B documents at 16kB each, or 50k documents per second. That's decent. That's where it starts to be interesting in elasticsearch or hadoop.
