caveat: I am part of the (maybe minority) of Ruby coders who don't use
any Rails whatsoever, so what follows might not apply to Rails development ...

But I feel that the longer I've used Ruby, the more concise my coding becomes,
so counting numbers of code will turn out those people as losers who actually
make use of advanced concepts, to keep their code short, and easily maintainable, including by others.
When it comes to counting lines of code, I've no doubt I'd still win hands down against most 
of the experts coming up on this list to solve problems once and for all, but I can't really enjoy that victory :(

I am not sure if I really can help out with answering the question, 'who is contributing in a team to get things
done', but maybe one can use some combination of profiling of the code at hand, comparing it with profilings
of similar code, and arrive at statements like, 'to get task X done, you shouldn't be using 99 percent of processor
power for ten hours, so person Y, who wrote that part of the code should go back and work through it again.' --
so maybe you could combine your existing project with some coder-specific evaluation of profiling ?

Please view this just as an attempt to defend concise-writing people in your company.

Best regards,

Axel
