RE: OT: Working from home

Didn't IBM have a "standard", something like a good programmer will produce ten lines of code per day?

That was in the days before OOP, though.

        My theory is this.


        A loosely used ratio for performance reviews.


        (Number of Bugs Resolved x Number of Projects x Number of lines of
code -
        (Bugs introduced in your code x 500))

        But use this with a grain of salt as many things are involved in
programming
        and lines of codes, bugs, and number of products are all relative to
the
        current situation.

        Rachel,

        Remember the Dilbert where the PHB tells the engineers
        that he'll pay a cash incentive for every bug the find
        and fix?

        Wally leave the meaning saying " I'm gonna code me a minivan!"

        As for lines of code, one could get even by writing succint
        obtuse code before leaving.  ;)
