At $50 for a 1TB hard drive, that 100MB is costing you half a cent. It doesn’t get sent to users over the network so it doesn’t affect performance. Why does that matter again?

106MB of source code is perhaps five million lines of code, if written in a typical way. Some people use longer lines, not so many "{" lines, but anyway.

Storing five million lines of code is cheap, sure, no question. But don't you feel curious about how why you need that much code in the first place?
