It’s part of the problem but AI also can crush this on pure lines of code and functionality alone. It can put out 100,000 lines of somewhat decent code in a day. That usually takes months or years of manual coding for a team.

More lines of code doesn’t help adding more constraints to a system without violating the existing ones.

In fact, it makes it harder.

It’s not just verbose code. I’m talking about 100,000 lines of relatively decent feature code that isn’t bloated.

There is a reason that kLOC / FP were rightly shunned out of being measurable metrics years ago. The same clown show seems to be resurging with "tokens". There is, in my opinion, no real formula or metric that you can define for "good" code or "bad" code. Tickets and ceremonial activities, however abstract that into a N-nary status value that seems easier to judge upon.
