I read about the story of using tensorflow in google translate [^Pointer2019].

> … Google Translate. Originally, the code that handled translation was a weighty 500,000 lines of code. The new, TensorFlow-based system has approximately 500, and it performs better than the old method.

This is crazy. Think about the maintenance of the code. A single person easily maintains 500 lines of code. 500,000 lines? No way.
