<programming, unit> (LOC) A common measure of the size or
progress of a programming project. For example, one can
describe a completed project as consisting of 100,000 LOC; or
one can characterise a week's progress as 5000 LOC.
Using LOC as a metric of progress encourages programmers to
reinvent the wheel or split their code into lots of short
lines.
