>hey, how many lines of codes do you write per day? just curious
>DONT even THINK about using lines of code as a metric its a totally BULLSHIT metric, heh, only someone whos never written a line of code in his LIFE would use lines of code as a metric *spits on the ground* Lines of code is totally MEANINGLESS okay??

this was just what came up when I googled "how many lines of code do you write in a year"
but literally every answer to that question I see is some variation of this nonanswer
okay, I understand that maintenance work might not require writing much new code, I understand that the work load changes depending if your in the early implementation stage or not, I understand it varies with seniority, I fucking get it okay
JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING STRAIGHT ANSWER YOU WISHY WASHY LIMPWRISTED FAGGOTS
I just want to know how my ~800-1000 lines a month as a hobbyist hikki NEET compares to people with actual jobs
>>
>>100372422
Does your hiking friend work on his own code or old open source project that been around for 10 years?
If it's the first, it's ok but not that great. If it's the second, it's pretty good.
>>
>>100372198
anything greater than 0 probably is fine
you'd be surprised how many people actually don't do shit

>~800-1000 lines
That's way too long for a "hello world" program.
>>
>>100372198
Basic boilerplate structural work for a new app? Could be thousands.
Investigating a strange subtle issue? Could be fixed by deleting 2 lines of code and adding none.

Around 5 a day.

Anywhere from 0 to over several thousands
Are you satisfied?

>>100372422
>my ~800-1000 lines a month
is that net sum or does that include deleted lines as well?

sounds like too much honestly, but I've never really measured how much I produce on average
>>
>>100372198
I only call a day a good day if I removed more lines than the ones I wrote.I try my best to end the day in the negatives

If you don't want to count removed lines, working on a 7yo monolith (and using copilot) often results in only copypasting stuff from other parts of the project and adjusting them, tabbing for AI autocompletion, or just going straight "hey chatgpt generate tests for this class"
Do those lines count?
