I’ve worked with teams and individuals that do nothing. Like literally nothing, they do shit. I once had to wrap up a product release for contract close out or something and it involved getting all the code and commits from developers who were rolling off. It amazed me how many had zero code they had written in months. I had one developer that had never committed anything in the three months he was there.
Obviously this is a management problem and it’s not a single individuals fault. But the manager had like 90 contractors reporting to them and didn’t care that people had zero lines of code written.
The developer’s job was to code. I wanted to mention that as there are developers and designers who don’t code but are productive in other ways.
- kodah 4y agoI believe you, I'm sure they exist, my argument is that they're not common enough for this level of pain. Personally, the way that org is sounds like it was by design.
- hinkley 4y agoI have had devs who did next to nothing, I've also had devs who had their repository settings wrong such that all their commits were either ascribed to no-one, the dev who helped onboard them (or wrote the docs) or a team lead. Having some metrics here can help sort this out before you call some senior dev at 12:30 in the morning for code they didn't even write.
