> This suggests that if we rewrote a given package in a less expressive programming language, where 10x as many lines of code were required to produce a package with equivalent functionality, then all things equal, the estimated "value" of our package would increase by 10x, as a result of labour productivity decreasing by a factor of 10! This is part of the "labour theory of value".
