6 days agoBecause “number of commits” is such a relevant metric (for reference 85% of the commits resulted in 110% of added lines compared to 2023).
Are people too lazy to talk about actual features and stuff added, so they compare some arbitrary number because that’s a stat easily pulled from the data?
PS: Nice to see the comments talking about “woke” developers… Guess the culture war brain rot really spreads everywhere 🤮
Yes, I read the article (that’s were my “number of lines” come from…). But does including this in the article make a shitty article any better?
It’s basically “Linux kernel hits record low” (also the title) followed by “but by other metrics it looks different” and then… nothing. No actual analysis, no context. Just randomly presenting numbers (and even admitting their headline metric isn’t worth much) and pretending that’s an article.
That’s stupidly lazy…
