Of course you should--the 10 SLOC/day figure is for the entire development process, from the end of requirements definition through delivery. Assuming you spent a day deciding what the program should do and look like, that's 302 days, which still gives about 50 SLOC/day. Of course, if you could get the same functionality with 1500 hand-written SLOC, hand coding would only take you 150 days. -- Jeff Carter "Perfidious English mouse-dropping hoarders."
