If you ask two humans to explain a problem to you, and human 1 takes an hour to explain what human 2 explained in 5 minutes… everyone would consider human 1 LESS ‘productive’ than human 2.

But what if human 2 was wrong?

What if both were wrong and human 3 simply said ‘I don’t know’.

LoC is a measure ripe for ignorance driven managerial abuse.

We’ve all seen senior devs explain concepts to junior devs, increasing their understanding and productivity while they themselves ‘produced’ zero lines of code.

Yes zero LoC maybe point to laziness; or to proper preparation.

All this is so obvious. LoC are easy to count but otherwise have hardly any value
