Title of the article uses the word "Engineers" rather than software engineers, and if you lump together virtually anybody who makes changes to a code base (testers, sw architects, sw leads, etc), it seems like its easy to have the data obviously skewed by people who essentially spam the commit process. I think most people can look at a commit log and sort of eye-ball who are the people who really make shit happen on a project--and who is probably causing more grief than anybody else. I agree its hard to quantify, but to be honest I didn't take away much from this article. I like the goal of the article, just think it didn't really hit the mark.
