Re: Lines of code per day?

The other day, all I did was move a single line of code down in the program by three lines.  It took me several hours to track the problem down.  That doesn't count as much in the way of lines of code, but it resolved an open problem for a dozen customers.

The *fundamental* problem with thinking about LOC is that it is based
on the premise that the job of a programmer is to write code.

IMO, a programmers 'job' is to solve problems.

Usually we solve problems by writing code ... but sometimes we solve
problems by identifying problems in procedures, user education, or
finding finding 3rd party solutions.
