I strongly believe increasing the rate at which one produces code misses the point.

If engineers already know up front with clarity what they need to build, and, the leadership are very focused and concentrate resources on doing a few things.. then increasing the rate at which LOC is written is not beneficial - because getting the product built right is what matters.

Exactly. We all laughed at the cases where productivity was measured in lines of code. But now the whole world somehow optimize for it.
