Devs are reverse centaurs now.

Lines of code was never a good metric, but it looks like productivity to the C-suite. This will bite them (and everyone who uses the code) in the ass. After some spectacular fails it will be judgement that a Dev is most prized for, meanwhile, this.

Still, eight to ten productive hours a day in any sustained fashion is bullshit, more like 3-4 with a bunch of meetings, learning, deciphering etc. filling out the day.
