My work tried measuring commits and PRs briefly as a metric. At the time I was doing a bunch of semi-automatic upgrading of repos with some tools is written for a substantial number of our micro services. So I looked about 300x more productive than the second most productive employee because I was batching hundreds of PRs using our GitHub API. It prompted the IT guy who was supposed to set up and demo the tool to higher ups come over and show it to me, we had a pretty good laugh. I like to think the absurdity of my numbers is what caused the idea to be scrapped.
