What does 600,000+ lines of AI-generated code look like in the wild?
๐ ๏ธ What I Built (Still Private)
The project lives inside company infrastructure and isnโt public (yet).
But itโs real. And it works.
- NodeJS-based
- Structured with full test coverage
- Designed to be extended by others (once approved)
- Architecture evolved through prompt iteration
If I get approval, Iโll share everything โ code, planning docs, prompt chains, and even some of the generated reports. Might take time, but itโs in progress.
๐ Code & Commit Stats
Section | Files | Lines |
---|---|---|
Source Code | 19 | 2,417 |
Tests | 25 | 5,424 |
Config | 17 | 465 |
GitHub (instructions + prompts) | 11 | 693 |
Copilot Output (raw history + generated reports) | 52 | 597,908 |
User Docs | 5 | 733 |
Total | 129 | 607,640 |
Yes, those numbers are real.
Yes, Copilot occasionally lies โ but it does ship.
๐ Git Commit Summary
From the full project commit history:
- Files changed: 514
- Lines added: 626,703
- Lines removed: 5,011
Commit messages were detailed, line-item breakdowns โ generated by Copilot and checked by Commitlint.
Several early Copilot hell loops led to entire archived branches in the beginning.
But as I refined prompts and adjusted expectations, the implementation strategy matured.
Fewer rewrites, cleaner commits, better momentum.
โ ๏ธ What This Isnโt (But Still Is)
- Not production-ready
- Not public
- Not a product
But it is:
- A real, working proof of concept
- A hands-on case study
- Enterprise-driven architecture and implementation (yes, really)
- A patience-builder
- Magic + madness = perfect
๐จ Parting Thought
Happy committing!
โThere are no mistakes, only happy little commits.โ

โจ Letโs Compare Notes
Been through the AI dev trenches? Want to swap commit stats, prompting techniques, or chaos stories?
Iโm always down to talk shop โ just give me a minute to come up for air.
Still chasing approval for the repo, but if youโre curious (or skeptical), Iโm open to questions, ideas, or even a friendly challenge.
This was Part 2 of the series.
If I get approval, Iโll follow up with sanitized prompt guides, redacted instruction templates, or maybe even a Copilot-powered case study... written by ChatGPT.
๐ก๏ธ RAI Disclaimer
Everything I share here is my own perspectiveโcreated with the help of AI tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and their friends), but always with a human in the loop. I do my best to catch accidental bias and fact-check, but if you ever spot something odd, let me know! AI isnโt perfect, and neither am I.
TL; DR: AI helped, but you can blame me for the chaos! ๐ซ
