  Wasn’t he firing people based on number of, or lack of, code commits at one point? Even if this isn’t real, it’s still very on-brand.

    Lines of code too iirc. This is about equally accurate.

      My most productive days have ended with negative LOC. It’s such a trash metric that only someone that’s never been a developer could dream up.

        I was at a company once where they didn’t understand how bad this metric was. They worshipped this one guy who would work all night and have a record number of lines of code changed.

        They thought he was a programming god.

        I realized he knew how to do “refactor” in his IDE, and every day the class hierarchy would change
