#Emacs 23 has 500 KLOC of elisp more than Emacs 22. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AszFIYMceP5EdEtQT3l4MlY2Q1Etb0JqWURHU0E3aUE&hl=en_US#gid=0 That's staggering.

One cute property of the typescript/javascript relationship is that you can toggle whether (and when) you want static types.
At ~500 LOC I realised I had an error handler I'd refactored but missed an argument at a call site. Time to try some typescript!
500 chars is an awful lot.
140 chars is too little (though I have long admired https://twitter.com/MicroSFF writing entire stories in single tweets). 500 chars is enough for me to dither over what I've written.
140 chars enables you to write and edit in a short period. That said, I'm forced to ask 'which abbrevation / grammar fault is least irritating?' regularly.
