Hours of work done as a measue of being "better at your job" sounds kind of similar to lines of code.

Had a guy interviewing for an intern position once say, after my coworker showed him a bit of code, "the biggest file I saw today was 500 lines, so I'm pretty sure I can handle it. I'm used to working on PHP scripts with thousands of lines. Now that's scary." He lost my vote in three sentences.

He didn't necceseraly choose the thousand line files but did have to keep them running.
