I’m surprised that reward misalignment is not making the list.
Seems to me like in many places, career success is mostly driven by metrics that are not related to good software engineering practices (specifically showmanship). Normally I would expect success to be measured primarily on metrics closer to the actual professional skillset.
Not arguing for or against, just surprised not to see it in the list.
- regularfry 4y agoThere are very few metrics you can usefully apply on the individual level which don't turn into hideously misaligned incentives when you tie them to career outcomes. It's different at the team level, but nobody's really cracked it for individuals yet that I'm aware of.
