Let me see. I can change about a zillion lines in 2 minutes. In IntelliJ I
can just highlight the top level and hit command-alt-l. Reformats all the
code in all the java modules.

Depending on the problem/framework, I can also hit a button that
auto-generates code. Which is often a wonderful tool, sure beats writing
all the boilerplate by hand. But only applicable to a subset of problems.

Lines-of-code has always been a lousy metric. One of the interesting
moments in a developer's maturation is realizing that furiously beating up
the keyboard is not particularly related to productivity over the long
term. I've spent far too much of my development career cleaning up after
cowboys who wrote a lot of sloppy code, but they sure wrote it quickly.

You might have noticed that you're getting a rather negative response. It's
really unhelpful to say "do it differently" without providing examples or
any other useful information about _how_ to "do it differently", examples
that actually apply to the problem at hand.
