150k sounds like a LOT… what’s your use case for the app?
It seems for any particular problem/comexity there is an estimate of how many LoC is needed (written by humans, good coding practices). And after reaching maturity (and not increasing scope) the LoC converges.
My experience with LLMs so far is it’s a constant battle to not explode the LoC. There’s always pressure away from “maintainability” and a “small elegant cohesive” codebase.

What I was trying to say is that maintainability appears largely unaffected. Doing manual QA testing and iterating on improvements still works great. The question then is in which cases "small elegant cohesive" is worth it, when the implementation effort increases tenfold. For the product I am working on at home for 30h/week, I can confidently say it is not worth it.
