The graph you see above depict the lines of source code attributed to each developer within the company. The dark blue line is my boss. The light blue line is me. That red line that has an abrupt halt in mid-March is the co-worker that got the axe a couple months ago. This graph doesn't tell the full story, because I have another 14,935 lines checked in on a separate web service source repository. The bulk of that code was written in the first half of 2008.
For the month of April, my code count was 8,163. That marked a new record for me. Prior to that, my highest throughput was 3,815, recorded March of this year. If things don't slow down, I will be on pace to shatter the April's total because I've checked in a net of 3,740 lines.
While it feels good to be productive, I am pretty sure this rate is not sustainable.

Cool - but what are you up to other than coding? I just tried to pull some similar data, and I was upset that some real bozos on our team had pretty high line counts.
That's a lot of code. Are you seeing variables in your sleep?
This reminds me of when I practiced law, when we told horror stories competitively of how many hours we billed in a given month.
May I suggest that you set some standards for your personal life and report back here on those, as well? It sounds to me like you are working too hard.
dude that's a lot of code...anais I don't see how he could maintain a social life with his current work load to report on.
Cat, that's exactly what I'm getting at. If 2am sets some personal and social goals, I think that would necessarily involve a better balance with work. What say ye, 2am? All work and no play makes for a very dull blog . . . and eventually, a very stressed-out 2am.
As a long time follower, I'm becoming a bit puzzled/disappointed. After doing so much hard work in your marriage and leaving, after doing all the Schnarch work, now what? Is this really consistent with Schnarch's principle's? I don't mean to be harsh; as someone who used Schnarch himself, I often wondered what he would have us do if our marriage is not salvageable. I seem to have salvaged mine, and I'm thankful for that. But I could just have easily taken your path and so I follow and wonder: what now?
