Wow, you wrote 65 thousand lines of code yourself? Did I understand correctly? If so, you're really cool, and how much time did you invest in the project?

The project has 65k lines of code (plus another 11k of tests and tools), but a lot of the heavy lifting was done by LLMs with me providing them detailed problem statements, reviewing their work, and then having them fix/improve what they'd done. At this point I'd guess LLMs have built about 80%-85% of the code and I've built the rest. I've had to keep the architecture clean, however, because the LLMs have struggled with that.
I built the Metaphor prompting framework first, then worked my way up from there.
The project has been running for about a year, and I probably averaged about 40 hours a week, so something like 2000 hours so far.

Of course, you still did a great job, I also work with LLM, and I know that there are a lot of difficulties with them, and sometimes it even seems that it is better to write the code yourself than to explain to the AI what you need to improve or make.
