Has anyone ever done a study or published anything on a standard number
of lines of code per day, for mid-range programmers?
Anyone ever evaluated this for hiring or retention purposes?
IMO 'Lines of code' as a metric is totally meaningless.
I've worked on a problem for days, changed one line of code, and
solved a problem that was causing massive disruption.
On the other hand, I've created hundreds of lines of code in a single
day ... that ended up being dumped in the trash the very next day.
Programming is as much art as it is science ... it's certainly not
factory work. You cannot judge the productivity of a developer based
on a simple output metric.
