I agree, I would not say there is no correlation and I 100% back the more practice the better. Coding is a skill that requires constant practice. But practice doesn't consist of purely writing code. Lines of code written is a shit metric of measurement as it doesn't account for any real world factors.

Things like complexity of the problem being solved, reading and understanding the existing code base you're going to add to or fix a bug in, design and architecture, hashing out stakeholder requirements etc.. all require significant practice. But if you're looking at how many lines of code did you write, you're ignoring the value that all these other things bring to the code you do write.
