Lines of code is not a good metric, but log lines of code is probably useful. The most product team ever recorded in a study was the Borland Quadro Pro team. They averaged 1000 lines of code per developer per week. To put that into context, the industry average rate is about 1000 lines of code production code by a developer in an entire year at a large company. 5-10 hours a work per week? That sounds average to me. That sounds like an average developer at a large company.
