Fascinating take. Anyway, I’ll likely be contributing deletion of at least 1000 loc from a codebase I maintain, sometime in the next couple weeks. My rate of code change in the month leading up to that will have been approximately zero. A week of that was on the road. The rest was the real work, and quite a bit more of the real work preceded that week on the road. No lines of code changed for weeks on end. That work was instrumental in being able to make a -1000 loc change. Glad I work with people who communicate about the work being done rather than communicating with commit logs.
