This new year holidays, my wife was busy working and getting ready for her IELTS exam, so there was no vacation. I took this chance to work on a project I have been dreaming about last year long.
The holidays are over and I have to go back to my daily job from monday, so I decided to count the number of lines I’ve been writing this christmas. This could give me in indication of how much fun I have these days. So I opened the powershell console and ran the following commands. My project doesn’t have much generated code, so I can say the results seem to be a rough estimate of reality.
cd \ProjectDirectory
$cs = ls -recurse -filter *.cs | gc | where {$_.Trim().Length -gt 5}
$sql = ls -recurse -filter *.sql | gc | where {$_.Trim().Length -gt 5}
$view = ls -recurse -filter *.cshtml | gc | where {$_.Trim().Length -gt 5}
$cs.Count + $sql.Count + $view.Count
1,234,980
Of course the above number is just a joke. I couldn’t possibly write a million lines in a couple of weeks even if I’ve had my keyboard connected to the treadmill!
Wish you all a successful and merry 2013.
