[DUG] Productivity

[Kyley Harris]

Ok. Simple Commercial Productivity Tool:

Productivity Percentage = Profits/Wages;

If this is less than 1 then you are not a productive person, but a
liability.
if it is >= 2 then you are probably a productive employee to your
employer.

There may be many other methods of productivity, such as in an open
source environment etc. but at the end of the day, you don't want to
work at a loss so productivity is not really a measurement of skill
level, but perceived usefulness measured by profitability.

Well obviously the quality and simplicity and brevity of code and its
saleability are all important.....I am just wondering if how
productivity is
measured by others.  One way is how a programmers output fulfills a
specific
implementation request...but that is only relevant to one firm and one
project.

What I am wondering is what are more general measures useful for
Delphi/Windows projects?
In the stuff in D2006 are there any code statistics tools?

Not only that, exactly how much of the code is written by the IDE??
i.e.
put a button on a form. Dbl click on it to open the onclick event, and
go
showmessage('abc'); This will generate what, 1 line fo code for the
declaration of the control, 1 line for the  procedure declaration, then
4
lines for the actual procedure
wrapper including the begin and end;   so that's 6 lines of code, and
you
only actually wrote.....ONE so IMHO, lines of code written in a RAD
enviroment means squat.

Seeing as not one of those lines of code could be worth money... no. 
Also. What you do in 1000 lines of code, could be done by another in 50.

And vice versa.

If x = 5 then
  Result := true else
  Result := false;

Or

Result := x =5;

Which is more efficient? Which is more productive? Lines of code tell
you
nothing except that you will always refactor it down to a better set of
code
As you become a better programmer.

How do others measure programmers productivity?

In my first year seriously doing Delphi (learning Delphi and programming
around 1/4 of my working days) I have written around 25,000 lines of
.PAS
files in about 15 programs - are there any standard measures of
productivity?
