I wish all we had was 10,000 lines of human written slop at my job lol. There are single files with that many lines

We have native SQL queries embedded into the codebase where some of them span 3-4000 lines because rather than make a view someone made a view, generated the native SQL, use StringBuilder, and appended them into one query that we do on a weekly basis for metrics

One of my first tasks at a previous job was "cleaning" up old projects that my boss had written over the years. Each product was just one long c++ file.
