[wxPython-users] OT: Programming Productivity

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi Peter,

I think lines of code is no good measurement at all. I wrote a lot of
lines of code a few weeks back, because I made a design misjudgment,
so in terms of how much further I got in my project, was actually ZERO
while I did (re)write a lot of code hence made a lot of lines to fix
my error ;-)

I think productivity can be measured in how fast something is
accomplished, not related  to the lines of code you write. If I need
to write a new dialog, and I can do that in 5 minutes instead of in
C++, 20 minutes (for example) then my productivity is much higher in
Python because I can accomplish more in the same time. And now that I
am getting to know wxPython some better I have to agree I am more
productive, but I am also more strict in my design because refactoring
usually does not come with such a high penalty. The end result is a
more robust application, and it's done faster then I normally would
get it done in wxWidgets / C++.
