Counting programming productivity by number of lines written is
completely nonsensical.

What counts is the *quality* of that code, not its amount. I would
prefer doing 200 lines of extremely high-quality code in 1 week than to
make 500 lines of crappy code in one day.

Of course measuring the quality of the code is pretty difficult, so
even trying to benchmark productivity is quite difficult.
