For these devs the Definition of Done is handing it to QA to debug. They do not include all the QA tickets their rush job creates as part of their DoD, and neither does their bad manager. Therefore, it does, in fact, look like they're way more productive than the rest of the team.
- hinkley 7y agoI've worked with devs who were so self unaware that they thought they spent less than 10% of their time fixing bugs in their code. In the end they were right. Because they refused to own their own bugs, everyone else was cleaning up after them. The real problem was when they started using this bullshit ratio to inform their opinions on development processes, pushing back on attempts to mature our process and tools.
