My SVG PacMan has 1000 lines of code, and I could not dream of writing a 1000-line-long feature to a 12-million-lines-long program. Serious question: have you ever programmed something in a team? There are two versions right now of my PicoBlaze Simulator in JavaScript, one is mine and one is agustiza's fork. And, trust me, merging those two versions will be a nightmare. And my PicoBlaze Simulator in JavaScript is only around 4'000 lines of code.
I’ve never tried programming anything. But the brute fact that I have an iPhone which works shows that an operating system assembled by teams of programmers and consisting of 12 million lines of code isn’t the insurmountable obstacle you think it is.

What does "brute fact" mean? "Brutus" in Latin means "slightly overweight", it was the nickname of the guy who killed Cesar, but I guess that has nothing to do with here.
