- Maursault 4y agoThough it certainly seems counter-intuitive that the efficiency of a developer has absolutely no business value, my only point was that developers have their own metrics for praise of their peers, not that business should adopt them. I've never heard of coders gushing over how fast someone got a piece of crap to market, no matter how profitable it was. Adobe development, for example, was one of the first to release their pro applications on Apple's PowerPC platform, but no one was impressed because their carbonized code was known not to be as performant as it would have been if ported natively in Cocoa. On the other hand, they also took a lot of grief for taking so long (wasn't it about 5 years?) to finally release Cocoa versions of those applications, just in time for Apple's platform switch to Intel, to be run in Apple's Classic emulator.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoI wouldn't want to work with someone on a project who takes such a narrow role-based view of success. If the broader business goals seem gross or alienating or irrelevant to an engineer, perhaps they are, though not by necessity unless it's a typically exploitative class-based structure (even with some limited mobility to pmc)
