SLOC is a terrible metric for programming. A Master Coder proved this in the late 70s (iirc).
The company he worked for demanded a weekly report of how many lines of code each programmer had created. The Master had rewritten a submodule to be far more efficient, and eliminated a huge amount of unnecessary code in the process. He turned in his weekly report as "-2000 lines".
Thank you for the productivity summary. It's very interesting and leaves me awestruck at the volume of high-quality work you produce. Very happy to be a sub.

They quit demanding those reports. ^_^

Prestigious results though I do believe you had just over 7k followers on Twitter when I first followed you in early 2021
