It never has been; it was a measurement of relative productivity. If your LOC hits 0 for a few days, something wrong. Might not even be the person your measuring, but the environment or the code base. Like looking at the temperature and drawing conclusions.
Still, LOC gives an indication of what is happening. But agreed, it doesn't measure success. Think the industry knows that already.
As for each line being a liability; if you build a car, then each part is a liability (proven by Tesla). You don't build a car without parts though. So it is a matter of building good parts, control their quality, and have someone looking at the end-result (which Tesla doesn't).
If you too afraid too build, it's because you lack experience and shouldn't be allowed near anything client-related.

Hackers were able to hijack dozens of high-profile Twitter accounts on Wednesday after gaining access to internal user administration tools and systems. Why pick a lock when you can just get the master key from the locksmith?

Hey let's try to see the positive side...
In some of those accounts, "fake-posts" from the hackers could be an improvement in the usual bullsh1t bingo that the real owners say...

WinUI 3 Preview 2 is a quality and stability-driven release with a focus on fixing bugs and known issues from the Preview 1 release. I'd put something funny here, but I'm still kind of a WinForms kind of guy
Still no go-live, but would you want to?

The scams appear to be part of a widespread hacking operation affecting multiple accounts {clears throat} "I said ha ha!" (and something about a petard)
Interesting that they didn't get "the mother load" account on Twitter.

Too good! Anyone who actually follows this bouquet of sphincters and shysters--Bezos, Gates, and Bloomberg were also included--is a prime candidate for getting suckered by yet another scam. The hacked accounts were well chosen.

Though it may sound like our occasional April Fools Day joke, C# 9 is looking to add and, or, and not to its list of keywords. Specifically, for use in pattern matching. Good idea? And/or not?
