| Dec 23, 2017 at 12:26 | comment | added | jhyot | Metrics show that in a team environment a programmer writes around 5-10 kloc / year. If you're alone you could get that up to 20-30 kloc. Now you can calculate how long a total rewrite in a similar style/language would take you... | |
| Dec 22, 2017 at 13:25 | comment | added | Christophe | It all depends on the technologies. If 200 kloc of legacy was for doing file based queries, OP could well replace this with 10 kloc of sql queries. But +1 for the valid and pragmatic approach :-) | |
