E.W. Dijkstra: "Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight". Personally, I think, much of the art of programming is to do as much as possible with as few lines of code as possible.
Oh, that must be fun to be hired by the client directly... I wish each my programming job was not an ivory tower :(

That’s Bill Gates’, not Dijkstra’s.
