YC CEO claims 37K AI LoC/day; a dev finds bloat, test files, and rookie mistakes in production

YC CEO says he ships 37K LoC/day AI code. A developer looked under the hood

Garry Tan posted that his AI coding agents ship 37K lines/day across 5 projects, with a 72-day streak. Polish dev Gregorein inspected the front end of Tan's AI blog and found 169 requests totaling 6.42 MB—versus Hacker News's 7 requests and 12 KB. The site ships 28 test files to every visitor, loads 78 JS controllers regardless of use, and serves the logo in 8 formats including a 0-byte file. Gregorein notes this is front-end only; the back end wasn't touched. His take: AI generates code faster than anyone can review, and the response from people like Tan seems to be 'so stop reviewing'—echoing Facebook's 'move fast and break things.'

Why it matters: Garry Tan claims 37K LoC/day via AI coding; a third-party dev finds 169 requests and 6.42 MB for a simple blog frontend, vs. HN's 1 request and 0.02 MB. Numbers, contrast, and identity reversal hit all three HKR axes. Capped below 85 because it's a single report, not a product...
