[DUG] Productivity

[Kyley Harris]

Are you saying that 444k lines is your output for the last 25 days? ;)
Or is that how much you did last year? Or since you started Delphi?

If it isnot your last 25 days based on your own calculation then you
should really insist on refunding your employer for all that idle time.

Procedure OutputFilesLineCount(x:integer);
If x = 1 then
  Writeln('1') else
If x = 2 then
  Writeln('2') else
If x = 3 then
  Writeln('3') else ...

I guess I could whip up a lot of lines if I wrote code that way. 

With a team of 10 developers I think I could tell my project manager
that
We'd finish that routine in around 2100. And that's coding at 2.5
seconds a line.

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?
