It's a great idea but I've lately adopted the habit of just looking at the code and noting SLOC count. I am bewildered how people today add code like there's no tomorrow, I suppose the advocates would quote "literate programming" and onboarding and what not, but I think reality is showing the code gets the better of us and we're absolutely squeezed by the volume of code that kind of works and kind of doesn't, exhibits issues (including vulnerabilities) and at the end of the day just rots looking at the next kid taking over. And I am not loving it anymore.

20K SLOC for a site widget? There's nothing great about that. But sure -- I guess it works. Everything can be ignored because "it works", but in my experience the gears are bound to start flying sooner or later and someone needs to look under the hood -- whether it's under the hood of Townsquare or something that has long replaced it. And it better be service-able.
