I'm glad that I am not graded on how many lines of code appear in the final code I write/commit. I just wrote ~250 lines of experimental code to get to a final ~15 lines of code (in a different module than I started in!) to solve a problem. Everyone else will just see the 15 lines.
The solution is much better than the one I started chasing. But based on SLOCs or other metrics, I would be penalized. smh
