How Do You Know a Developer Is Doing a Good Job?
- onion2k 10y agoIdeally, developers would be rewarded based on the amount of value they provide to a business. It’s a simple concept: you make the company more money, the company pays you more money. That sounds like an assertion that needs to be justified. Why is that the ideal? 100 products, 100 lines of code! If you paid your developers per line of code, you would reward the inefficient developers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling An analogy to this is writing essays, novels, blog posts, etc. Would you judge a writer solely on the number of words written? Probably not. That's exactly how a lot of professional writers are paid.
