Lines: 12 I heard that the average programmer produces 3-4 lines of *finished* code a day! This sounds ridiculously low. Does anybody out there know what the real figure is? Or is it misleading to try and gauge productivity this way? If it is, what are the recommended ways to measure programmer productivity using some sort of metrics! Any hints will be appreciated via email or otherwise. Thanx --Emuleomo O.O. (emuleomo@yes.rutgers.edu) -- ** The ONLY thing we learn from history is that we don't learn from history!
