And? How valuable are individual lines of code? To the author's point, I'm sure AI can translate individual sentences perfectly, but miss the nuance of communication in a bigger project or body of text. In the same vein, when was the last time someone put an AI on a ralph loop, posted the result on r/vibecoding and ended up with actual users.

Don't care, only time I've measured them was personal curiosity about hand-written projects, and one time I was trying to work out how many blank comments a co-worker had put into their codebase*.

How valuable are features? Management kept giving me them, and I always just assumed they'd decided which ones were important. But I've seen git histories of apps where the same feature was added twice, 5 years apart, by the same developer.

How often do the megacorps currently boasting that 80% of their code is now vibed, post anything (other than adverts) to reddit?

* 20% of the whole project, or 24 thousand blank comments.
