No better feeling than sending up a PR and seeing the red number big than the green one

I would assume it’s absolute value of + and - per PR because otherwise jeez.

Even then it incentivizes useless churn. Lines of code is just awful as a target.

Unless you work at Twitter, apparently.

The guy who moved repositories around or submitted the autogenerated code/data is getting a huge raise

I actually lived that once.

One of our managers was going to tout how productive the different teams were.

One team moved two years worth of their code into the repository just after the reporting period.

So I generated a buttload of comments, because they were counted too, and my team came out the most "productive".

Time to internalize dependencies.

And set code formatting line width to 5.

Engineers be like, "Can I lint the codebase please?"
