This seems to be completely counter to your initial post tying weekly/daily work directly to profit to determine what is worth your effort and what to put on your resume. You even give SQL queries as an example, so I don't see how that's not trying to tie it down to the lines of code.

There's a big difference between:

1. I optimized SQL queries for Nameless Corp to increase profits 20%

2. I optimized SQL queries for Nameless Corp on a multi-million dollar project.
