Software is a creative business, so someone thinking outside of the box can out-gun someone pumping out 10000 lines of code in a week. But companies are testing your ability to pump out nice enough lines of code. What about a coding test where you have to 'delete' the right lines of code. Or a whiteboard exercise where you choose what NOT to work on. Those things are not tested.
