@baldur I have a theory that Lines of Code is an easy proxy variable to measure coder “productivity” (yes, even though the industry “knows” this is a terrible metric!), and this is why LLM coding tools are so damned verbose.
If you think “wrote lots of lines of code” is proof of productivity you’ll be fooled long enough to empty your (company’s) wallet. Meanwhile your developers lose understanding and ownership of their code, and your codebase starts to collapse under its own weight.
