It sounds like you wrote 20-30 lines per day part-time over 10 years, which is within an order of magnitude of 10 lines per day for the average developer. Sounds about right to me?

I also think that's correct, regarding the order of magnitude, familiarity with the topic... the 10 lines a day (order of magnitude) could perhaps make more sense from a perspective of cognitive overload.
