> Software developers on average write only about ten lines a day

That is far too low of an estimate for any productive programmer. Perhaps when trying to solve some sort of insanely complex bug perhaps?

Depends on the type of software you are writing. If you are hooking up a bunch of libraries you installed with NPM on your node project you will be much more productive than if you are debugging a compiler or working on a hardware level device driver.

If anything, good programming may result in a negative amount of avg. lines/day.

Depends on job though, of course.
