I dont see why recruiters find it relevant to ask how many lines of code a piece of software has. Like seriously why!?!?!?!

It by no means measures the quality of the code or the usability or complexity of the software.

    They must be recruiting for gov job. The gov loves to measure productivity by lines of code ๐Ÿ™„. You can also apply this productivity measure to "words on a page" which gov also seems to love. And it's a wonder why the codebase is 20,000 lines (when it could be 500) and why gov docs are hundreds of pages when they could be 5. I don't get it either.

    I guess its what happens when you have people who have no idea about the job and no idea how to measure your skill. It really sucks

    Just in the master branch or should we add all lines from all branches together?

    Maybe it's just interesting for them. I remember myself asking this a few times when I was starting out.

    Maybe they're measuring how efficiently you made it. You can come up with a rough estimate of a projects codebase. If a calculator has a 10M+ line codebase, they will not hire you lol.
