just saw an application for DEshaw which is asking me about how many lines of code ive written. ROFL. also had a recruiter at a different company ask how many lines of code my biggest project was. Literally one of the worst metrics.
I was asked that once, just put 100k, like how are they gonna check it lmao.
What's wrong with Twilio?
I mean if your answer is zero that’s saying something I guess
Just say an oddly specific large amount. Like 2,417,342. But after today I’m trying to clear 2,417,500
PS: Copy paste doesn't count
Hold up. Let me go and check my github account and add those lines of code up for you. Zzzz....
I guess they want to see how well organized you can be based on that. Most of sees time is spent thinking or navigating tons of files or lines.
50 words minute lol
It’s not *literally* one of the worst metrics. It just isn’t great. It’s probably a better metric than # of years of experience
