In other words, in a single year you did the amount of work that would take 20-50 years of a regular software engineer to complete?

So, it would take roughly two months to complete a project at the scale of SQLite or TeX.

Makes me wonder what Terry A. Davis would have to say about AI if he was alive today.

I imagine he would have a few choice words of the usual sort, but would he recognise that seemingly anyone can write their own OS like he did?

Personally I'm sceptical because few people can even fit a high-level overview of such a project in their heads, much less the entire codebase.
