LINES OF CODE ARE BACK (AND IT'S WORSE THAN BEFORE)

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

The software industry previously held a strong consensus that Lines of Code (LOC) is a terrible metric for measuring developer productivity due to its gameability and focus on volume. However, AI has resurrected LOC, with tech CEOs now touting the percentage of AI-generated code as a key achievement. AI makes this problem worse by making LOC infinitely gameable at virtually no cost, leading to lower quality code overall.
