Steve Yegge(@Steve_Yegge):All models, no matter how smart, will eventually build systems that they can no longer understand or maintain, if you let them. Fable 5 finally outbuilt itself, and flailed on me for a week. Fable 5.1 looks like it will fix it. For now. But you have to keep an iron grip on system size, or it'll run away from you.

I've been in the industry for O(40) years and have written O(1M) LOC. I don't think I'll ever write O(another) line again, but I'll be launching more than ever.
