It originates from the 10x developer myth and then more recently Elon Musk has re awakened the idea that number of commits, or lines of code changed are good metrics to measure productivity of developers.
Personally I'm not sure why people listen to anything that guy says, but hey, he has more money than anyone else, so he must be right 😂
Anyways, thanks for thinking for yourself! We desperately need more people who do that!
Haha, exactly 😄 I’m honestly amazed by some of the “wisdom” attributed to Musk - sometimes I get the feeling his companies function normally because he doesn’t have the time to personally supervise everything.
And funny you mention lines of code - I’ve actually heard that about a company in my city years ago. They evaluated developers based on how many lines of code they wrote. They dropped that idea pretty quickly once they saw the kind of spaghetti it produced 😅
A team I was in tried that once. I just kept changing the automatic CRLF to LF line ending settings for git back and forth so I always touched every line of code on every commit I made 😂 they didn't like that 😂

Haha, so I guess I’m talking to a millionaire then? 😄
I wish 😅 that's what it takes to buy a house here 😢
