> 100k lines is tiny

No, no, it is not, or at least not in my experience (I do not and never have done web development - medium performance C++ code - I don't see how I could write, understand and support 100K lines of code in this area).

And so, what does your Ruby code actually do?

Your experience doesn't match mine. I have, mostly solo, and part time, written multiple codebases that on that kind of magnitude (it is about the level where it still will fit in one person's head pretty easily IMO). It doesn't take much to reach that kind of size. Now, if all of it was super dense and subtle code, then yeah, that would be a lot, but in my experience that's usually a pretty small part of any given codebase.

		> in my experience that's usually a pretty small part of any given codebase Our experiences differ then. Mine is that almost all of the code I write is directly targeted on the usually quite complex problem I am trying to solve. I don't do boilerplate, for example.
