When you look at code you wrote in the past, whether it is 1000 lines, 3000 or 100,000 you could always think of a way to remove the redundancies and such and turn it into a smaller number of lines.

But the first time you write it, the first time you are solving the problem, it is much harder to focus on that part.

This is not to say that it's ok to have unmaintainable million lines of code application, but more that it is not something we willingly do to make ourselves look more important in a company.
