"When a very well-known and widely respected computer scientist
recently used [lines of code as a measure of] programmer
productivity in a lecture, the suggestion came from the audience
that, instead of talking about "the lines of code produced" we
should talk about "the lines of code used" and that, therefore, the
speaker was booking them on the wrong side of the ledger. The
speaker answered that he stuck to his productivity measure, because
he did not know of any alternatives that allowed proper
quantification!"
