Is nobody going to comment on the fact that emerging economies seem to spend more time coding? To me that says the metric is to some extend time wasted, because there’s more to being an effective, innovative company than churning out lines. This is similar to how emerging economies generally spend more time doing everything, and not accomplishing more (or doing so at the expense of certain human values, which will almost always creep into any advanced economy).
