In this case invoice is only created when the payment is made - it is for the customer to print it out etc.

Conservative good principle.

I use wc -l to count those. Not very accurate since it does not reflect code changes during debugging, a lot of stuff got rewritten few times over. 250k over 4 years gives around 200 lines per day

**** me, is that all? You would never make a contractor. I remember coding over 1.2 million in one year alone (admittedly it was COBOL!)

Thirty five.

Is that the number of years before the Ska thing will be operational?

Contractors need to know how to be productive enough to appear worthwhile to keep around but not too productive that the end goal is reached without stretching the contract out to its maximum timeframe possible.

Yes, though soon there will be forward looking invoices but I generally tend to count only those that already have got money in the bank basically.

Lines comparison between different languages is not very good, if good at all - for me it's an amusing measure to see from time to time, I measure the progress in implemented features rather than lines of code.

What happens if a hedge fund wants to become a client and give you some of their immorally earned money?

Highly unlikely event due to my product being well outside of what hedge funds need for their operations.

Alexey,

as you know I am a big supporter of SKA, that said, you must forgive for the following,

Alexey, haven't you heard of design patterns, object orientation, and code reusability ?

or,

are you simply taking the number of lines of code and multiplying it by the number of worker computers out there running the SKA widget ?


all the best, you will win, and I can't wait to see their faces

I am a heavy used of object orientation with extensive libraries that I use all the time, that's the reason why code size is pretty low actually - design patterns malarkey can kiss my bottom though

For a contract that was only 6 months long, this one went on for a year and I got another 6 years (on and off) out of it so I think it was pretty productive

Agreed but at least my code is in production at a major bank, is paid for and implements a number of features such as support for distributed DB2 databases, links into CICS and IMS, has an ISPF front-end and many more. Real world versus forum world is more important...
