in thread (OT) Proving Productivity?

Really? I know that if I start counting lines of code, I go something like this:
Monday - 450
Tuesday - 3
Wednesday - 275
Thursday - 0
Friday - 0

Does this mean I'm only productive on Mondays and Wednesdays? Or, did it mean that I was more productive on the other days cause I was thinking and designing and working on install procedures and user interfaces and the like, none of which involves actual code.

My opinion is that if you spend more than 20% of your time coding, you are being less productive than you could be, especially in Perl, where 90% of every Perl application has already been written.

    Ovid was talking about averages. Your example happens to average to roughly 110 LOC/day..

    Not to mention you missed my point, which should have been easily obvious from how much attention I devoted to trying to measure productivity by user stories..
