I work on a large Android app.

I have absolutely no idea of what my average LOC / week is and I would argue that it is a silly metric.

Last week I deleted 30k LOC from the project (~10% of the code base) :

-we used to have both the old & new version of the UI in the codebase so we could switch between the twos in production. Now that the new version is complete, there is no need for that.

-There were many deprecated parts of the app and unused resources, I did a big cleanup of these and I have even more work in that area.

This has resulted in way cleaner code, easier to apprehend for newcomers. The app is also lighter by 2 mo. Probably a very productive week overall.
