> This article hinges on the "productivity is subjective" argument, which isn't true in all cases. There are objective measures for certain types of productivity: library downloads, Stackoverflow points, blog views, GitHub stars. Lines of Code is not a measurement, why would lib downloads be? Remember the time some 30-line JS lib who just does "split" or something like that was removed and it broke the Internet? heavily relied on - yes (ie heavily downloaded), highly productive? doubtful. You are referring popularity, which sure is part of the sum output of you as a person, but this article is meant to reference purely development productivity. Marketing or whatever is beyond scope. Maybe next post! (popularity gauge != productivity gauge)
