I've been using Claude code for a while, probably written close to 100K+ lines over several months.
It is always a learning exercise to see how other people are using CC and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from this, so thanks for sharing it.
But, I don't understand what 600,000 lines in 60 days mean. Lines of code is one thing, but to do what? There still needs to be a loop where CC generates code, there is test automation, maybe do some code review, and then test/run to see what it's built and if it matches the spec, refine the spec, provide new guidance and so on. Products are not built in isolation and are not just KLoC.
Now, if I were asking CC to, take the Algorithms text book and write all the code in all the language etc. (as an example) 600 KLoC over 60 days would make sense. If it were porting an existing product from one stack to another, maybe. But for new products, at least to me that part doesn't make sense.
The best question is, what's been shipped in the past 60 days with those 600,000 lines.
Lots of people trying things for the sake of it, without really achieving anything with it. Maybe they have 'a setup' but the setup ends up being unproven.
