Such a great quote. Mostly true if viewed especially from a business standpoint. I for one also see code as creative expression, a form of art. I like coding because I can express a solution in a way that is elegant and nice to read for myself and others. A bit shallow but If you've read code that is written elegantly, you'll know that immediately.

My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.
