Maybe it's accurate, one could conceivably care less about them if they cared more about paying them attention?

They could also care at n+1 in the set of whole numbers where n/max is infinitesimally small.

> In the last 60 days I have written over 600,000 lines of production code — 35% tests — and I am doing 10,000 to 20,000 usable lines of code per day as a part-time part of my day while doing all my duties as CEO of YC. LOC will never be a good metric of software engineering. Why do we keep accepting this? I can generate 1 million LOC if I really wanted to. As long as LOC is the main metric for these setups, they wil…

LOC is a very-very weak proxy of "how many new features" I've built, and they don't have any other metric that can be measured easily. But it causes serious issues, because equating LOC with productivity leads to inevitable utter bloat, that no agent or human can ever rectify in a meaningful timeframe. I'm pretty sure this 600 000??? LOC could be shrinked to 60 K for the same feature set, but with better readability and performance.

I swear to God I'm making a script to write \n to a file and call it productivity increase on social media. What a disgrace, hacker culture died to this

I’m still hanging around to see it all crumble down honestly. Get the popcorn.

I have written 600 THOUSAND lines of production code. The best and most beautiful production code. The agents negotiate. They want to make a DEAL. I am the best deal maker in the world. Thank you for your attention to this matter! -- GJT
