This might be the dumbest metric I have ever heard of.

If you're not a programmer—"lines of code written" is a completely absurd metric to measure productivity for software development.
It's like paying a cook by the amount of salt they use.

@thomasfuchs Not only that, but since when does one need "AI" to do something as trivial as count lines?

@thomasfuchs and even if you are a programmer, you can still be paid by the amount of salt you use. Or chef, or puppet, or ansible, or terraform...

@wjv Good news: LLMs literally can't count.

@thomasfuchs or maybe by the number of dishes they dirty.

@thomasfuchs @ShiitakeToast Turns out paying people to look over and rewrite code cost money, so they decided to just fire the programmers, fart out some code slop, and call it a day.

@thomasfuchs My programming teacher would have words with those equalling performance with lines of code written.
Specially cause he pushed us to optimize code as much as possible.

@thomasfuchs yeah. But if you're a cook and you're using *no* salt, I'd have some questions...
