Nice post! To your list of things that reduce productivity, I'd add:

-- Requirements never change in midstream

-- I'm not required to conform to 2167/A

In my experience--which seems to mirror yours--often the claims made
for SLOC/day turn out to be not so much for debugged, documented,
tested, fielded code, but for error-ridden trash that winds up as
shelfware.

In short, most SLOC/day rates are really just a measure of some hacker's
TYPING SPEED.
