Lines of code have always been a liability not an asset. If I get a PR +500, -800, that achieves the goal set out, and one that is +8300, -1200, which one is better? SOTA LLMs tend to produce the latter and the people least capable of noticing this as something bad are the ones producing the most code. So maybe even _if_ - show me sources - 90% of code is LLM produced, I'm certain it doesn't do 90% of the work.

That doesn't mirror my experience whatsoever

Pre LLM a 500/800 loc pr was already on the longer side, with ~200-300 being optimal.

Those were however frequently being optimized by LLM to the 500-800 loc range.

But opus 5.5 does not produce 8k new loc refactorings without you forcing it to.
