How much have my coding projects over the last 10 years cost
I decided, for fun, to run sloccount over some of my code bases to get a rough idea of the development time / cost that it thinks it would take

Now I currently have two development bases an old one that was started around 2002 and is still being built on and a new one created about a year ago that I am slowly migrating all of my projects over to.

So here are the figures, all using the default switches so cost is based on an average salary = $56,286/year which they took from a poll in 2000 I think.

Code base 1 as a multi-project (excludes some libraries)
Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 255,688
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months) = 2.15 (25.85)
Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 8,731,954

Code Base 1 - Single project (includes missing liabries)
Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 271,154
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months) = 2.72 (32.60)
Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 9,694,344

Code Base 2 - Multi-project
Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 221,306
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months) = 2.08 (24.90)
Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 7,463,963

Code Base 2 - Single project
Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 221,306
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months) = 2.51 (30.07)
Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 7,832,213

So $17.5 million over just over 5 years of development. They all gave an estimate on the number of developers as 23.

What does this all mean? Not a lot TBH, just that over the last 10 years I've written a lot of code and that my new code base is almost as big as the old one even though its no where near being finished but is a hell of a lot more efficient and faster. Oh and no, none of the main Transformers sites we run work of the new code yet.
