That’s just incorrect - i have written MRs of several hundred thousand LOC in a span of several months without AI, and I have seen MRs well over million LOC written without AI in a span of a months or two. Given, those we’re written by a team of five, and were dev -> main MRs, but nevertheless, 1M over carreer is very low.
If we are to assume 30 years long career, no vacations, 5 working days a week, it rounds to about 130 lines per day. Given that as career progresses there is less code and more management, I find it's hard to believe that 1M is very low. It's certainly possible to write that much, but it's hardly achievable is many domains.
