What's your biggest Solution?!

A platform that supported multiple products, most of which could be combined in a superset build. Over 30M lines of source code in all. It should have been smaller, but that's the norm for legacy software.

Only 30 lines of code?!?! :omg: That's crazy! Almost as crazy as the fact you count lines of code as a decimal... :^)
It was written in APL. ;P

I used to complain that solution in all my previous work were too big. But now that I just joined EA Games, the solution I work on takes the cake by a big margin: 541 projects! :O Can't wait for VS2022! In fact.. already using the preview.. :laugh: save for a few minor bug, it ain't too bad...

If we limit "your" down to solutions we actually created and maintain all of - 90 (https://github.com/fluffynuts/PeanutButter) I can't remember the largest from a corporate that I've been part of, tbh. My current company doesn't have such project-splosion :D

hah! yeah, game projects have always been the biggest solutions I have worked on. The hardest to work with too.
-
That is crazy! Is that all just for the Frostbite engine? I assume it doesn't include any of the actual games? Is there a good reason for so many projects, or is it more a case of breaking things out to better control who gets access to what? I am currently on 27 projects. I guess if a product had lots of "off the shelf" plugins, that might be a good cause to grow the project count considerably, but other than that not sure how I would ever hit triple figures.

Hopefully all the project build output folders are set to the same folder. What really matters is the number of lines of code, methods, classes, and files.

My old team, there were 6 of us and we had over 140 projects that supported one large brokerage office. We all worked as full stack too so it was a fun team to be on but hectic was definitely the daily state of things. I took a promotion this year and moved to a different team that doesn't quite have the same volume of work so it is nice to slow down a little having been in IT for over 26 years now.
