Lines of code as a metric
Has the software industry lost its mind? (yes)
How are real people who work in the tech industry reporting on an increase in lines of code due to AI like it’s an inherently good or even meaningful thing?
Code is a LIABILITY! Once upon a time, everyone understood this to be true!
“Hey, I’m a small business and I’m looking for some useful software. It’s really important to me that the software has as many lines of code as possible.” - Said no software user ever.
Talking about lines of code as a metric as if it's even worth commenting on should get you banned from working in tech for the rest of your life.
What an absolutely humiliating industry to work for right now. I am so sorry to all my peers who are trying to get anything meaningful done while working in software. You are stronger than I am.
