HN people: lines of code and numbers of PRs are irrelevant to determine the capabilities of a developer.

Also HN people: look at the magic slop machine, it made all these lines of codes and PRs, it is irrefutable proof that it's good and AGI

Both of these things can be true at the same time:

1. Counting lines of code is a bad way to measure developer productivity.

2. The number of merged PRs on GitHub overall that were created with LLM assistance is an interesting metric for evaluating how widely these tools are being used.
