> Saying "lines of code are a bad measurement" is too easy! It's about time someone presented an opposing argument. I don't know about easy. It's a hard earned lesson of software engineering, backed by research (some of it cited in TFA). Also, there's a related lesson: the more LoC to solve a given problem, the more bugs. That's also a finding backed by research. I'll be reading your article when you write it, but I confess I'm skeptical. The AI companies have a vested interest in using this metric, since it's easy to measure (the reason LoC were used even before AI) and there's no doubt that LLMs are writing tons of code. This makes me doubly skeptical.
