    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
