The number was given just so we have a sense of scale of the project being talked about. Its not a competition nor are measures being made.

If you wrote a program that is 1,000,000 lines of code you could also write a blog post about your thoughts on "writing 1,000,000 lines of code".

You could also write a program that is 200 lines long and write a blog post about "writing 200 lines of code".

One is not better than the others, you are just informing your audience of the topic under discussion.
