    and if a display driver can’t be written in 1 line that doesn’t make the thousands of lines unmaintainable slop

    That’s not what I’m saying.

    I’m saying if there’s 1000x more lines of code than necessary, it’s unmaintainable slop. I could understand 2x or even 10x the lines of code just being a difference in architecture, but even 100x is getting crazy.

    I think only EnterpriseFizzBuzz surpasses the 1000x inefficiency metric that this meme is implying.
