I believe your figure. But being prolific is not the only measure, there is such a thing as quality and it is more often than not the 500 lines of code that took you 3 months that will make the difference. And 500 lines of code require an about equally large chunk of documentation and most people that &#x27;just code&#x27; and don&#x27;t want to think about anything else skimp on the parts that they don&#x27;t enjoy.<p>As for people with wealth, yes, there are those that trade but there are also those that create wealth by adding value. All of those goods traded by others have to come from somewhere.
