How many lines of code do you write in a week? Let's forget for a moment the fact that line counts in different languages can differ in productivity, and that line counts aren't the perfect way to measure program complexity. Let's also say if you write a line of code then delete it, it still counts as a line. Do you write over a thousand lines of code per week in the language of your choice? If so, Bill Gates says you're an excellent programmer. From http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&s... :
"Well, let's figure it out," he said in a slightly condescending tone. "I don't think it could be more than 10,000 lines of code, and a really good programmer like you should be able to write at least a thousand lines of code per week, so I think it will take you less than 10 weeks to write it, if you're as good as I think you are."
How fast do you write code?
