I quite like the point of the article but I have one issue with it.
It begins by focusing on "producing times ten" and then goes on to equate that with "lines of code times ten".
The issue with that is lines of code isn't production. The real production is the value behind that code. If you do the same thing with a tenth of the code, you _are_ producing ten times more.
- fosco 9y agoboth of your comments reminded me of the 'the parable of two programmers' [0] (not original). While I disagree on the concept described that each programmer was 'productive' in writing 'lines of code' I think that the lesson learned is more about approach and how solutions should be evaluated.
