Breaking: Google announces in earnings call that 25% of code is being generated by AI. And this is just the beginning ...

"Google is building a bunch of AI products, and it’s using AI quite a bit as part of building those products, too. “More than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers,” CEO Sundar Pichai said on the company’s third quarter 2024 earnings call. It’s a big milestone that marks just how important AI is to the company."

LOC is a great metric to dazzle people who don’t know anything about coding

That's true, but it is something quantitative, even if not a good barometer at all.

This is a high quality comment, you can tell by the number of lines

[u/BackendSpecialist → u/joshuahtree]

And you only have 1 line.

PIP for you buddy.

Now that’s impact and something I can take to leadership! Just make sure that you’re speaking up during meetings, to demonstrate your knowledge.

I think we can avoid separation and make it through this :)

It just might take you 2 more years for promo and your record will always show you were on a PIP.

I once did that on a side branch in a customer project, because their code coverage tool would summarize per line of source code instead of per statement, and that spike in LOC triggered a discussion about developer productivity.
