It really depends on what you mean by BIG. Based on GrandFather's definition, I'd have to say that the code we have at work is medium-large. 33,000 lines (using a simple "find . -name '*.p[ml]' -print0 | xargs -0 cat | wc -l" - so really much less as code), and taken about 8 person-years to get here (approximately 5 years, with 1 person full-time on it, and myself part-time on it). Two of three requirements met, and the third requirement nearly met. (If they hadn't done such a bang-up job at changing requirements on us, it would have been a bit less time to get here.)

That said, by the time it is doing everything we want, it'll be at least 37,000-40,000 lines, and take another year or so.

Is that "big"?
