750 LOC/hour on average? The secret to that is either having a very loose definition of code (e.g. counting generated files, copy and pasting huge amounts of boilerplate, etc) or a very loose definition of honesty. Nobody is that productive, especially not working 10 hours a day. If I do 750 LOC in a week, that's a good week!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

If I can do -750 net LOC in a week (while maintaining or extending functionality), that's a great week!
