Are we back to measuring performance in klocs? I can get you a bunch of incompetent devs that change hundreds ofines of code a day. All you need to do is change indentation and eols or just rewrite basic stuff too lazy to understand.


According to the engineers in the undercover interviews, a large part of the staff only work "when they feel like it", which would result in some taking months of paid time off or just hanging out in the office all day.

kloc is not great as a general metric, but in this case it might make it obvious where you can trim a lot of fat..


I see and the issue lies with the engineers? If thats the company’s policy the whats the problem? He should change the policy and only then review performance in that context.


Change the formatting lol.
