10k is a lot of code? No way that is a lot of code or at least it’s not a lot for senior devs.

This certainly depends on what the code does and on the use case, i.e. on how critical reliability and performance are. 10k code in a simple web application prototype that will be trashed in 3 months is not "a lot", because it's not critical and piling up technical dept is not a problem. 10k code to specify the core algorithms in a mission-critical, long-living system is "a lot", or at least "much more", because it needs to be crafted and maintained with immense care.

Unless one is paid in LOC I'd expect a senior dev to write less code than a novice...

It's enough to benefit from types, assuming no large swathes of inline literals.
