Literally stupid. If I write a function, and EVERYONE uses that function over & over & over because it’s so incredibly useful, do I get LOC credit for every where it’s used? I swear, I’m gonna die whilst yelling “Goodhart’s law! They didn’t listen to Goodhart’s law!”

Here is a big co secret (esp engineers whose main job is to code) — People will look at lines of code written to decide if you’re in or out. You can cry all about how it’s gameable, it’s not efficient etc. But that’s a metric all big cos use to assess poor performers.
