recently readed " I heard someone say a good programmer can reasonably maintain about 20,000 lines of code. Whether that is 20,000 lines of assembler, C, or some high-level language doesn't matter. It's still 20,000 lines."
This seem a bit low value as my own prohects i was maintaining at home were like 50k lines and i didnt feel any problem with maintaining this value (though i got other problems more releted to visual quality not to code)
So do you think that this sentence is true? have you experienced problems with maintaining larger amounts of codebase? How much were you able to maintain and how much you were not able to maintain? (sorry if question is not appropriate or hard to answer)
