What does 1,000,000 lines of code look like?
If you think 1 Million lines of code is a lot, then you will appreciate the fact that our Scepter internet security products have surpassed 1.5 Million lines of code (and growing)!
You will be safe, in the future, when you search the internet; once we launch our Scepter lines of products!
• A million lines of code printed is 18,000 pages. In human DNA it would be equal to 3 billion pairs.
• A million lines of code is as long as 14 copies of War And Peace, 25 of Ulysses, 63 copies of The Catcher in the Rye, or 66 copies of K&R's C Programming Language.
• A million lines of code will typically have 100,000 bug pre-tests. Best-in-class organizations will ship with around 1k bugs still lurking in your software (what is any MSN Windows release? lol). At Scepter X we spent the last 5 years testing, researching and getting the bugs out. We don’t test our software on you (unlike every other single software company around).
• A million lines of code will occupy 67 people (including testers, tech writers, developers, etc) for 40 months, or 223 person-years.
• Darwin needed just 1.5 person-years to write The Origin of the Species. Scale that to the 26 copies equal in length of a million lines of code, and it appears writing code is some 6 times more time-consuming than writing a revolutionary scientific tome.
• Want an idea of what it costs to write a Million lines of code? At the rate of $40 per line of code, the cost to hire a programming team is about $40 million dollars!
