If only we could get paid to find solutions, not write lines of code.
I was once asked to create a pie chart of the number of lines of code my team wrote every week. I still haven't figured it out.

Pray you never do. This is the sort of pointless "metric" that is used by clueless management to withold a raise for the "underperforming" programmer who spends his time tracking down critical bugs with minimal code changes rather than producing volumes of new code.
Most (all) programmers I socialize with seem to get paid for results, not lines of code.
For some reason though, a few of them build things that are way more complex than they need to be for no better reason (as far as I can tell) that they like doing so.
