I understand the intent, but this is a really bad take, and honestly an awful vision of what programming is. You write lines of code to solve problems, implement a vision, create a product, improve behaviors or fix bugs. If a line of code goes in this direction, it’s definitely an asset. If a line of code goes against this, it’s a liability.
With your vision, the best program is no program, which can be true when there’s no problem to solve. But the thing is we actually have problems to solve that require lines of code.
