My gods, over a year later, Jon's comment still annoys me. like, isn't it widely understood that lines of code is a bad measurement for... well, everything, really? likewise, to imply that "more commits === more maintained === better" is just... urgh.
What feels like an impossible situation becomes the new norm in a matter of months, and either ruins us utterly, or we don't even notice. Sometimes, we come out the stronger for it, but usually... it just is. And then we look back, and wonder at all the things we used to be able to do.
