That's 684 lines of code on average every single day, presumably part-time.
It took me (at a wild guess) something like 3+ man-months of work to write
Tobruk, which is 8000 lines of code, ie an average of 88 lines of code per
day. In fact, I heard someone say that the industry standard was something
like 10 lines of code per day (or something equally small).
Am I lazy or am I stupid? BFN. Paul.
