If a programmer does 500 lines, how much work will they get done before their heart explodes?

Depends on what you’re doing. 500 lines in an Angular (a web frontend framework) application gets you a read-only view of a list of entities, maybe searching and filtering.

FYI: OP is talking about a different kind of line than code

I am stupid 🤦 Thanks for pointing it out.

@[email protected] is right. What the lines are is very important. But it also matters over what time period.

If we do say, 20 lines per workday for a month, your heart will be fine!

Your nose might fall off though.
