All my code has always been slow and steady. Just the design phase takes
lots of calm meditation to find the right way to do things. It is *never*
just a crazed ejaculation of 100s of lines of working code.
Was this a myth? I'm skeptical anyone could even type 6000 lines in a weekend
even if they had the source print out in front of them to enter?!?!
It's probably not a myth.
The issue, however, is that new code creation generates far more lines
of code than any other task.
Taking a look at some of my projects, I seem to be able to generate
1500-2000 LOC in a weekend. I can easily see 3000 with unit tests which
tend to be cut'n'paste.
Then, I start debugging and my LOC productivity drops like a stone.
