.....oh.
Since the old metrics of "being visibly performing work" that were the oldschool way to demonstrate corporate value don't work in remote-work situations,
volume of code commits - the old KLOC style - replaced those as a social signal for performative effort to gain managerial approval.
And that's why llm-based codegen took off so fast - manager-class demanding performance of work instead of actual results, using the only metric they could measure: kloc committed.
So once again, "the thing you measure becomes the thing you do" comes to call.
