What about useless program ?

[lpapez → revskill]

I can tell you I wrote many useless things with more than 500 lines, also known as "enterprise software".

[egeozcan → revskill]

I could write a fairly useless program with nearly half the amount of lines!!:

Being able to write silly stuff because you can is immensely satisfying.

For that you can go savor the archives of IOCCC : https://www.ioccc.org/

[jlnho → revskill]

I can write useless programs in 0 lines!

[beardyw → jlnho]

Well, I have done that in order to see what the compiler creates which isn't your program. Quite useful!

[hedora → revskill]

The probability that a program is useful given the number of lines probably peaks in the 10,000’s-100,000’s.
