I have the wonderful fortune of getting to work with Andy, and spoke with him about this a few years ago. (This story pops up again every two years or so). Shortly after, he let me know he had taken a look at the code for the first time in years and had overestimated the line count. I'd have to go back through old emails but I believe he said it was only something like 2000 lines.

I'm pretty sure he has far more interesting stories to tell than this, and he is pretty hot on the banjo.



This makes more sense, writing and debugging 20,000 lines of C code in four days is a little crazy.


If itwere 20k lines, he would probably have said something like

"it was a 7 line Perl script that generated 20k lines of c that generated inputs for whatever"
