IMHO you have to measure productivity with debugging time included. If you’re fixing the bugs in someone else’s code, the only way to measure productivity is to measure the both of you as a whole.

Too many programmers code their way out of a problem, instead of reconsidering the problem in a way that they can repurpose something that already exists.
