If a programmer does 500 lines, how much work will they get done before their heart explodes?
@[email protected] is right. What the lines are is very important. But it also matters over what time period.
If we do say, 20 lines per workday for a month, your heart will be fine!
Your nose might fall off though.
Depends on what you’re doing. 500 lines in an Angular (a web frontend framework) application gets you a read-only view of a list of entities, maybe searching and filtering.
FYI: OP is talking about a different kind of line than code
I am stupid 🤦 Thanks for pointing it out.
