I'd struggle to think in a job which required 25 lines an hour ever, let alone constantly for 8 hours/day!
I don't think I've ever written more than a few hundred LOC in a week.
- k-mcgrady 12y agoWhat kind of projects do you work on? I'm sure the experience differs a lot between people working on important, complex legacy projects, and people developing consumer mobile apps for photo sharing etc.
- Kiro 12y agoFor me working on complex legacy projects means even less LoC since you're so afraid of breaking stuff.
- matwood 12y agoExactly. When I was working on a payroll system it could take a day to change a modify a few lines and test all the various scenarios before releasing. The cost of making a mistake was large.
- k-mcgrady 12y agoExactly, that was my point. If you're starting a simple consumer product you'll write lots of code quickly. When working on something complex you need to consider how your changes will effect every aspect of the product.
