Such a great quote. Mostly true if viewed especially from a business standpoint. I for one also see code as creative expression, a form of art. I like coding because I can express a solution in a way that is elegant and nice to read for myself and others. A bit shallow but If you've read code that is written elegantly, you'll know that immediately.
- a_imho 1y agoMy point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD10xx/EWD1036.html https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD10xx/EWD103...
