[codecraft] Quantitative study of code repositories: the 10:1 rule

[Michael Bar-Sinai]

Turns out that generally, for long-running code projects, for each line in a code repo, there are 10 deleted lines:

https://www.ybrikman.com/writing/2018/08/12/the-10-to-1-rule-of-writing-and-programming/ <https://www.ybrikman.com/writing/2018/08/12/the-10-to-1-rule-of-writing-and-programming/>

IMHO interesting read.
