Is this operating under the assumption that there is no code review?
With code review, lines of code and commit count become much harder to game. If you try to submit changes with unnecessary whitespace, unnecessary code constructs, or incomplete code, your reviewer will see it and tell you to fix it. Ultimately, trying to increase your lines of code or commit count will come back to haunt you as you spend much more time addressing comments from code review.

- overgard 7y agoIt's still super-easy to game. Just prioritize all the low-hanging fruit. Got some tickets for increasing the font size or replacing the copy in the privacy policy? Why not do those instead of working on the important but hard to debug/estimate problem of some database transactions being slow, but only sometimes?
