Your very first comment on HN got a down-vote, I haven't actually seen a -5 karma before. On the bright side you've nowhere to go but up.

Seriously though I agree with your point about PDO. Perhaps the down-vote was due to the comment about de-engineering and apparently making fun of 10k LOC?

I took a look at the app and it's got a huge amount of features. 10k is not really that much code for a "enterprise" app I suppose you could call it. The OP probably is just trying to express the amount of labor that went into the app. Unfortunately other developers may judge your LOC as either a positive or negative, so it's probably best to avoid mentioning it (unless you've written an app in an unbelievably low number of lines).



It was the first metric that came to mind, it was hard to describe in time since development was on and off for a while. I just wanted people to know it wasn't a small project.


It actually looks like a nice product. I can tell from your video that you feel about the same way I do of many of my projects. Even after a few months it's hard for me to look at my work and not see the flaws and missing features. But it's good to keep in mind that people who aren't building the app don't usually see those things.
