40~100. Delete about 60-200.

Depends greatly on the type of task I’m working on, new feature is probably 200-400 per day, investigation or bug fix is likely 0-20 lines.

5-10..

L3 should be writing 1K +- per week (300 + non test code), L4 about the same or a little more + design/meeting overhead, L5 about 60% of that, L6 40% or lower with much more review loads as you go up the levels.

Really? So I just need to inflate my lines of code to 1000 on that tiny little project. Sweet

Or quickly find something more challenging to do (with larger scope)

This is really not a good question because good coders use fewer lines of code

Total capacity is still limited. The question is not about rate of impact, just volume of production.

Once you measure volume of production in lines of code you open doors you wish you would not have

Quantity of code < Quality of code. You should measure in features or bug fixes and have a multiplier of difficulty to measure productivity

Actually I would go further and say usually quality is inversely proportional to quantity when it comes to code. Well thought out and designed code is terse.

Until you go too far and it's obfuscated.

Can’t change anything in ms without things exploding

100+ code 45- code 250 lines of test cases (mostly copy paste) 4 lines of commit 25 lines of Markdown

Our codebase has about 12k classes and several millions of LOC. Fixing a bug can involve changing 1-50 LOC over the course of many weeks.

What product?

No unit tests?

I can’t believe the level of stupidity that ties lines of code to a good developer.
