Thanks, your answer has shed some light on what would be expected. I am glad that the industry does not base productivity on LOC. I also, now know some red flag

What matter is not the number of lines of code you write. IT's what value you create, how much revenue you generate, or help generate. You can have the worst code, and still make hundreds of millions of dollars. At the end of the day, for a business, that's what matters. Once you are coming to the scale of the code (modularity or lack thereof, etc), you can always rewrite. Not directly about development, but this should be somewhat of a rule of thumb in general: https://www.slideshare.net/dmc500hats/best-strategy-is-speed-startup2startup-may-2008 https://www.slideshare.net/dmc500hats/best-strategy-is-speed... Time is important. More important than you think.

  The value created for the company seems to be the best way to track productivity. It seems that how accurate the chosen metric for the value created is the key thing to watch out for.
