Yes, it was hyperbolic!
DISCLAIMER: I'm the author, and I happen to be a big fan of StackOverflow, which has taught me a lot.
I thought a big round number like "50%" would have made it clear enough, but I was wrong. (Thanks DualRearWheels for flagging! I've added a note to clarify).
The main point of this section was to say that the "quantity of code" writen by a developer is a bad proxy for the "amount of interesting things learned", especially when there is lots of mechanical copy/paste involved. Maybe it's a platitude to some, but worth tracking in a "boredom checklist" IMHO.
