Totally agree. As distasteful as Elon’s process may be, at the end of the day all of us making boatloads of money should be able to point to our results and deliverables. If an engineer is making $200k and wrote a couple hundred lines of code all year, that’s probably a problem. Certainly, only a relatively few people should have the valid excuse that their work doesn’t involve writing code.

I can show you my results and deliverables all you want, but they're definitely not going to be measured in the number lines on code in a screenshot. Come on, you know this

Totally agree. But I think you would agree that a good engineer (with lots of exceptions for architects, tech lead managers, etc) should be able to look at their git history and find some nice chunks of code besides just adding comments or cleaning up imports/includes.
