The 35k lines of code is what made me think this was either a joke or the state of vibe coding, but no it turns out they're serious

I have entire codebases of embedded software in C without the shortcuts of modern programming languages in way fewer than 35k lines

I cannot find a link to the source code. Is there any?

Not 35k lines, but there's one line that's about 48,000 characters long. So either they've intentionally obfuscated it, or chatgpt just churned out one long line

Edit: Running it through a prettifier the code comes about 33k lines

Oh, this. I thought there was more into it.

Edit: Run it through another prettifier, might turn into 35k lines. :D

It’s obviously obstructed, but throw it into an LLM to attempt to clean it up
