In 1982, managers of the Lisa software team began tracking engineers' progress by the number of lines of code written weekly. Bill Atkinson, a key implementer, optimized Quickdraw's region calculation, reducing code by 2,000 lines and making it six times faster. He reported "-2000" lines of code on the form. Soon after, managers stopped asking him to fill it out.
