There are sites that use the GitHub API to collect stats on contributions and projects. The idea of using the available data to gather metrics on orgs and people isn't new.
What might be the most interesting is the idea of productivity scores. It makes so many assumptions that are generalized. I bet many of them aren't documented.
I also would suspect that this will lead to behavior change to improve on "productivity" that may have nothing to do with improving customer businesses but help scores go up.
- dathinab 6y agoYes it's fully impossible to generalized produce any form of productivity score. Like sometimes someone taking a full day to write a single short paragraph can be the most productive and valuable thing which happens in the recent month. Even if hounded of pages where written, mails read and responded etc. Such score can only really measure quantity but not quality but in many cases you need quality much more than quantity to be successful.
