To be fair, startups are one way to measure productivity. But since it takes 2-10 programmers for most startups to be successful, there's no way everyone can start a startup (at least right now). So I was wondering more about what everyone's ability to pump out code is, in the simplest metric: programming language plus line count per day or week. And sorry, but I don't think auto code generation is fair to include unless you're coding the code generation (that is, you've set up a Lisp macro or something similar). Here, I'll go first: In the last three days, I've built a 1200 line system which is of medium complexity. The language is C++. Shawn
