Information is beautiful, here we have an infographic that visualize the number of lines of codes in popular software, operating systems and websites.

Based on that infographic, healthcare.gov websites 100 millions line of codes, that's crazy! That makes me wonder, is that necessary? That's 5-6 times of Macintosh OSX Tiger.

Whatever it is, here is the infographic :)
