[DUG] Productivity

[Stefan Mueller]

Pretty much agree with the others that lines of code isn't a good way to
measure your productivity ... but I just couldn't resist and had to check
how many lines of code I actually wrote.

I am getting a linecount of 441'062 in all my own *.pas files.
 
Feels like a lot .. but if you calculate 5 seconds to actually write a line
of code then this turns out to be only a bit over 25 straight days of
non-stop programming(no debugging/testing time included) ... which I guess
is ok - looks like I didn't waste too much of my life on programming after
all ;-) 

Regards,
Stefan 

ps: some simple program to get the count of lines is attached.

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?
