I have senior in my title so I guess I count as skilled, I work on an Android app (so Java).

I have absolutely no idea of what my average LOC / week looks like and could not care less.

This is a really dumb metric.

Between Annotation processors & code generation plugins, it already means nothing. If you factor in DRY, it is just insane.

Am I supposed to willingly write horrible and unproductive code just to increase my LOC / time ?




"Between Annotation processors & code generation plugins, it already means nothing."

Getting a project of a given size done on schedule means nothing? Your company sounds pretty laid back. That's nice.

"Am I supposed to willingly write horrible and unproductive code just to increase my LOC / time ?"

It's a nice strawman you built there. The metric in your case would be average, custom LOC brought into production. So, it would hopefully be productive, great code at a certain rate. The rate varies among people and programming approaches.


>Getting a project of a given size done on schedule means nothing?

rofl, you are assimilating LOC and actually accomplishing a task on schedule and you talk about strawman ? give me a break.
