Comparing two projects by the number of commits and lines of code written. You must be a manager.
Maybe Chris and Jose are more efficient? Maybe the Elixir/LiveView code is just better written and doesn't need rewrites?
Why do so many people glorify quantity over quality?
- nickjj 6y ago> Comparing two projects by the number of commits and lines of code written. You must be a manager. We are dealing with limited information here, and GitHub makes it easy to see at a glance what folks are doing on a project. It just so happens it focuses on presenting commits and lines of code written. Everyone knows it's not the best metric but to get a high level overview of activity those stats work. Especially when the person I was replying to said LV is maybe moving slow due to a lack of manpower. Those numbers show the opposite (LV has more folks working on the project than LiveWire, despite it being much less popular due to Elixir being a smaller niche than PHP). > Maybe the Elixir/LiveView code is just better written and doesn't need rewrites? I don't think it's fair to jump to any conclusions about the quality of either code bases.
- te_chris 6y agoExactly, and without equalising between languages. PHP is verbose, elixir is elegant.
