Earlier quoted context omitted.
Perhaps a slight exaggeration, but not much of one. 200-300 lines per developer per month is the norm in large companies. Most of the time is spent reading crappy code, debugging crappy code, and dealing with crappy workarounds for crappy code. It sucks. Even very good programmers fall below 500/month if they get mired in legacy bullshit.
crazy. I have _days_ I write 500 lines of production grade code.
In a team of how many?
