Since you don't know anything about those 1000 lines of code, any statement that you do is wrong. Maybe it was 1000 lines of code to do a one time task and then be thrown into the gutter.
When I suggest that Alfred is twice as productive as the average programmer, this is being very generous. This would actually place him in the top 15% of all programmers. The likelihood that he actually belongs that far up the ranking is extremely small, simply because Alfred is relatively young and programmers tend to grow into their most productive years in their 30's. Please refrain from making comments about my abilities; I have asked you this before, but it seems that you are incapable of making any comments that cannot be considered as slander. You know squat about me, so stop pretending as if you do. When you were getting a MSc I was already helping PhD students (CS) solve their frigging programming problems and was using my own crappy OS. I used to write games and other crap when you got your BS, in BASIC for a Casio FX750P on dead trees, writting programs that wouldn't run on the damn thing because it had to little memory for my taste even if I had _two_ 4k RAM extention cards, and the "monitor" was one line which pissed me of so much since I really wanted a rectagular area to draw things on and I was doing this when I was 6. So please old man, refrain from pretending that you know me. And thank you for making me shiver at these horrid memories; I'll maybe implement a FX750P emulator with the extentions I wanted when I was a kid, just to see how well my programs will run. Or maybe not... This is BASIC after all: Worst Language Ever. My point: lines of code produced is a crap metric. The metric you want is lines of code *retained*. Then why did you want to use that metric to begin with? How much is retained can only be answered by my crystal ball that I accidently droped yesterday. _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
