I've never heard of anyone in the IBMi or RPG space using that metric. Often I remove more lines of code than I add.

Subject: Lines of code per day?

I've searched the archives and haven't found anything on this subject.
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?

I know the old saw from the Mythical Man Month about ten lines of tested code per day (for any language on any platform), but that can't be true anymore, right?
So, I thought I'd start a firestorm here on the subject. Any thoughts?
