That's trendy to say, and there's a lot of truth to it, but the fact of the matter is that the number of lines of code in a project does convey useful information about its complexity. More accurate would be to say that it's only one dimension in a multi-dimensional metric.
Just like with an airplane, if we add in the weight and what it's made of and used for all of the sudden it becomes a pretty interesting metric.
- shabda 17y ago(Sorry if a quote sounded empty and cute, I will elaborate my thoughts.) - Sintara is small (and arguably beautiful), a book on it should be small. Being small doesnot mean it shouldnot be called book. - Wasn't our biggest gripe with J2ee monster was the enormous complexity, and to handle them the large books required. Wasn't that why rails Django were hailed as game changers? http://i44.tinypic.com/98uhs6.png http://i44.tinypic.com/98uhs6.png Smaller frameworks with smaller learning curve and books take that even further.
