You're indexed on, and promoted based on how much value you provide. LOC is not the same as value.

If I can close 100 tickets with less code than someone else, I've still closed 100 tickets.

Gee wouldn't it be nice to live in your perfect little fantasy world where all managers are perfect and capable people and have more than two brain cells to tell the difference.

I've been a professional developer for going on 30 years now. I have never once seen anyone measured by lines of code. That died out before my time.

I've seen a host of other imperfect measuring sticks, including the "tickets" metric I cited. But the post to which I was replying said that people are judged on how much code they write.
