That is under 7.2 seconds per line, nonstop. [1]
I'm a fast typist, and I can't type that fast.
[1] 75 hrs/week * 4 weeks * 3600 sec/hr / 'over' 150,000 lines = 'under' 7.2 sec/line

And don't forget- its not nonstop; he's managing others during the day and setting his fingers on fire before & after work, its probably under 4 seconds per line!
Which, as long as you never under any circumstances have to actually read, build, run, or debug any of the code, is totally do-able.
Even if this physically impossible feat of coding were true, that's 150,000 lines of code to debug, written while tired. Enough to set a full engineering team back for a year.

I work with Angular and Javascript as well. I don't think you should count the html code, if that is what you did. Count the javascript-code only and see how many lines you write in a week. And if the number still is as high as you've said I must wonder what kind of system you are building? Normally you rewrite everything that is repetetive into services/controllers/functions to keep the line count down. There was a talk recently from Google about some large application they had written in Angular, the problems they ran into and what they learned from that. They provided some line counts and it wasn't millions of lines even for them and they still had a team of something like 10-20 developers.

Others are downvoting you, possibly bc they think you're exaggerating, but I just find your claims to be curious and would be really interested in meeting you. That is, if you ever have time to meet other people. Let me know, contact info is in my profile.
A good portion of those loc have been complete rewrites based on existing code to clean it up and meet unforeseen changes in requirements that nobody planned for. Honestly, the amount of code I pumped out is a miracle, I'm hoping I don't get stuck in such a situation again at my current job.
