> I really wish people would stop trying to reduce software development to simple metrics. Number of deploys is as meaningless as lines of code or number of story points as a metric for judging people's performance. I mostly agree. I for one am a big fan of "painless" deploys. To me it means we should be able to deploy pretty much when we want to... My manager (also a programmer in previous life) once explained to me (privately) is we are neither waterfall nor agile or anything like that. We need to first have a repeatable process before we can even think about those things. (Officially, we were "agile" but that's beyond our pay grade.)
