That's also what my thinking. that remember me a story about a company, maybe IBM, that switched to a strategy of giving bonus to the developers based on the number of code line created. It was supposedly a mean to measure productivity. It only resulted in code-duplication. The developers copy-pasted the code instead of creating nice functions and re-using them. They went back a few years later. Sadly, they wasn't alone to do that mistake. It discouraging to see something similar in >2010.
Anyway, what's the value of 1000 lines of code per hour if they contains bugs that take days to find later. I prefer 100 lines that works. That's left more time to do more test. Really, you should update your CV. On Sep 8, 10:48 am, Cathy Shapiro <[email protected]> wrote: > My solution would be to find a new job! > That's ridiculous.
