- erokar 7y agoOf course, but research is still the best we have when it comes to support a claim or try to establish certain truths about the world. If you don't believe the results of the study, please provide the counter evidence.
- dunkelheit 7y agoMeasuring programmer productivity is very hard using standard research tools so they are not necessarily the best we have. This is not physics. Besides, all I wanted to do was to point out that you shouldn’t derive any conclusions from that study. I don’t need any counter evidence for that (apart from the evidence that the study is flawed of course).
- weberc2 7y agoI would say experience is the best we have.
