Everything can be measured, you just need to try harder to measure it. And make more spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are awesome. The problem is never "too many spreadsheets" the problem is always "not enough spreadsheets" and "spreadsheets not good enough".
- probablypower 4y agoI strongly agree and strongly disagree. Yes, measure as much as possible. No, don't put it in a damn spreadsheet. Put it in a relational database or a streaming pipeline.
- doitLP 4y agoI can’t tell if you’re joking. In theory, yes, everything can be measured but start measuring it and others will also start gaming it. Measurements are always just an approximation, even the good ones measuring one aspect of what you want but losing lots of context along the way. No one has figured out how to really effectively measure developer productivity for example and the biggest companies in the world like Microsoft and Amazon don’t even try. I shudder to think that the answer is just “more spreadsheets”. If you can solve it go ahead, you’ll get rich.
