> BTW you do realize that this would put you at (sustained, average) several hundred lines of code per day (every day) over your lifetime? That sounds almost depressingly bleak to me. How does one have a life outside of that?

Grad school sure puts you on the right track of getting good numbers like this! :) And the answer was, not having a life outside of grad school.

Grad school doesn't last forty years though...or does it?

I should hope not!

Also, 40 years? 1000000/40/52 ~> You're assuming the average developer writes 500 lines of code per week? That seems absurdly slow.

Well, you did say "several millions", so that would be more like 2000 lines. And depending on the environment, I'm aware of many people who do much less (not of their own volition or choice), so I have little faith in a long-term average being this high. I'll have to take a look that what Capers Jones wrote on this...

I'm lucky if I write 500 lines of code a quarter these days....
