I appreciate measuring productive when profit is the objective. Still, there exists code that does resonate and evoke emotional response. Quines, code golf, adding a paradigms to a lisp in a few lines of code, categorical haskell or the Doom wtf algorithm.

Beauty is something to strive for, it is just not the purpose of business programming. Unless you are Dijkstra.

Definitely – I guess I was going for "building product" more than writing code.
