We have very short attention spans and even shorter working memory. Also, the big numbers trigger our fomo very easily.

I just wrote a program that writes code at ~200mb/s and so will create a codebase the size of the mainline Ubuntu in minutes.

Never mind that it's just sedding "print "Hello, World!"" to the penultimate line.

I may not be too bright, but Lines of Code? I've got those.
