One MILLION lines of code every month

Microsoft posted a job seeking an engineer to output 1 million lines of code monthly using AI to replace C/C++ with Rust by 2030. This represents a problematic industry trend of measuring software quality by lines of code rather than actual value. The expectation that one person could meaningfully review 65 lines per minute is unrealistic. Industry leaders are promoting AI-assisted junior developers over experienced seniors for cost savings, despite evidence that many companies laying off workers end up increasing expenses and rehiring later. The push treats software development as industrialized manufacturing rather than skilled problem-solving work.
