More lines does not equal more features! I just ripped out a bunch of unnecessary debug logging, the computation for that, unnecessary data copies, and then a 200 line method turned into 3 lines. What's more, the debug code had bugs I in it and would crash if it actually caught an exception. To my knowledge researchers have not found a single metric that correlates with bug count other than total lines of code. Unit testing, developer experience, none of it is predictive of bug count, only size of code base has a correlation.
