This is what I mean, its not a low number far from it. But I know people that only value that number, so previously they churn out a big LOC, higher ups praise. Now its just big number good, bigger number even better. And LLMs do exactly that.

Now LOC comes down to how much tokens you are willing to spend for a given day.

Depends on the kind. 400 locs JS or Java or something is barely worth mentioning. Can do more, a lot of it is boilerplate bs.

400 locs of critical C code, sure.
