  LOC
  
     <programming, unit> (LOC) A common measure of the size or
     progress of a programming project.  For example, one can
     describe a completed project as consisting of 100,000 LOC; or
     one can characterise a week's progress as 5000 LOC.
  
     Using LOC as a metric of progress encourages programmers to
     reinvent the wheel or split their code into lots of short
     lines.
