Yeah, I would view this as a “levels of maturity” thing. It’s not completely misguided to judge a JD on whether they shipped 0loc or 1kloc. Assuming you have some quality counter-metric like “the app works”.

For staff engineers it’s obviously completely nonsense, many don’t code and just ship architecture docs. Or you can ship a net negative refactor. Etc.

So this should tell you that LLMs are still in “savant JD” territory.

That said, being given permission to ship more lines of code under existing enterprise quality bars _is_ a meaningful signal.
