  1. Given known empirical numbers of bugs per per one thousand lines of code (which is between a few and about 25) .... and the size of Microsoft products, how many bugs do they probably have in total?

  2. Given how "productive" LLMs are at adding lines of code, how many new bugs are there likely added per month?

Is this the number for human written code only or does it include boilerplate/ generated code too?
