I think my net contribution of lines of code at my current company is still negative. It was for a long time, but I haven't checked in awhile so I'm not sure if it still is.

I remember times at a few of my jobs, just absolutely cheering for someone’s PR that was filled with red. Good times.

Usually I end up adding more lines of documentation and tests and removing lines of application code so it's not easily measurable- on theme for this thread, heh

At my last company we had an architect whose only direct coding contributions were deletions, because nobody gets credited for cleaning up code.
