A good measure of productivity in the case of a
computer programmer should have more to do with
accuracy than quantity of code.  If a programmer
writes a program/makes a modification quickly, that
has a few bugs as compared to the programmer who may
take a bit longer but whose code is bug free, I would
argue that the bug free coder is doing the better job
although he may be a bit slower.
