So for a short time you'd get people paid based on the number of lines of code written. Thus rather than a one line for loop such as for(i=0; i<10; i++) dosomething();, you right out do something() ten times, thus your lines of code output is higher, your pay higher. Everyone's happy. Right?

Ye gods no, you end up with write once code that's a fucking nightmare to debug.

Fortunately such practices didn't last very long. Generally.

But the problem remains. How do you judge performance?
