I was asked this pre-screening question, and also asked again during a screening call:
Have you written over 30K lines of code?
My answer was I probably deleted more than I wrote. They have my CV (12 years of industry exp).
Are they dumb or playing dumb?
Other possible hypothetical answers I came up with:
- 29,999 or 30,001, I’m not sure
- ⁠Do log lines count?
- ⁠I wrote a script that writes code lines straight to production
- ⁠I tend to write a line then do cmd+x, then cmd+z, cmd+shift+z repeatedly

Wdyt? Do you guys have some funny answers?

If you wanna rant, rant don't talk
