I have given this feedback for a person at Google who made fewer than five commits in a year, each with just a handful of lines. The lines were good, so it wasn't about the quality of the work.

This is my favorite kind of Google story. It doesn't happen all the time. But I've seen it...where a person studies the problem for a considerable period of time, followed by a minimal and precise solution. Those are often followed by mass deletion of newly superfluous code. And those are generally worth a team celebration!

God damn, getting paid 250k a year to write about 500 LOC. Madness.

If each line you commit is worth more than $500, then it's not at all madness.
