I’m surprised that folks are still considering metrics like LoC and commit frequency to measure developer productivity, even more so due to the (anecdotal, from my XP of 25 years in industry) fact that as developers gain in seniority they are typically spending more time with people than with code.

IMHO, developer productivity is best judged by the humans they work with.

as long as you're looking at the content of frequent commits I think this is valuable as it encourages smaller task sizes. If you use a PR/MR approach it also corelates with other important metrics like WIP and how long the coordination work takes. LoC is not something I was aware people are still tracking.
