The Worst Programmer

I think my net contribution of lines of code at my current company is still negative. It was for a long time, but I haven't checked in awhile so I'm not sure if it still is.

Usually I end up adding more lines of documentation and tests and removing lines of application code so it's not easily measurable- on theme for this thread, heh

I remember times at a few of my jobs, just absolutely cheering for someone’s PR that was filled with red. Good times.

So the metric could "modified" lines of code, not "added".

At my last company we had an architect whose only direct coding contributions were deletions.
