"Lots of" is plural, isn't it? Maybe "A lot of code runs .."

You are right. Which one is better?

FWIW, actually 'lots of' and 'a lot of' are equivalent, and the verb
will be plural or singular depending on if the noun is countable (and
will be plural) or is uncountable (and will be singular).

So "Lots of people run" but "Lots of code runs" because code is
uncountable.


Based on what Douglas said should I merge this?

Yes. Thanks Douglas for the explanation.
