Sure, this is useful for the outliers who just straight don't work as much, but much less useful for telling the difference between a busy person and a productive person. I have seen bad devs who make daily commits with tens or hundreds of LoC, but whose tools never actually convert to production use because they are mired in development hell, until someone pulls the project away from them and hands it to someone else. Devs who are so bad that they legitimately spend weeks trying to make a tool that I then built in 2 days. I think LoC irks me so much, because if I finish someone's "2-month" project in a week, LoC optimization effectively penalizes me for it.
