You can float measures but they’re always incomplete models. I did not say all code is useless. You generalized based upon a specific conversation. Generalization I have heard over and over from speakers who, when measured, do not measure up as highly as they think they should. I am aware of various studies that measured what technologies are increasing productivity. The variables were too numerous to make meaningful conclusions. We cherry pick and make small models at jobs to obfuscate and debate who is pulling their weight. But it’s just toil to stay employed. The future value of any given for loop is zero; it’s just hustle to crank them out regardless of their use case, and denigrate others cranking out senseless reports. There is no model that says the poster I replied to, or you, are outputting more value. It’s just toiling to make it appear so at a small scale (within the business). 14% of working adults in the US has better than a bachelors. Public opinion polls indicate the public thinks it’s almost 40% of working adults have better than a bachelors. What your missing is how deluded the general public is about its accomplishments.
