For a CEO, productivity is at a first order is operating margins. 99% of HNers have no clue how to calculate that (nor have the necessary data).
- dymk 4y agoAnd what’re your qualifications and citations?
- bitcharmer 4y ago> 99% of HNers have no clue how to calculate that This is just plain wrong. In big organizations it's the front line worker and not the CEO that can confidently gauge productivity changes simply because C level bean counters always try to quantify productivity with flawed metrics likes lines of code when most people know it's nonsensical.
- onethought 4y agoI think, being generous to the GP doesn’t matter how “productive” a single person or team works, if the whole thing isn’t working well (usually measured in margin) then it doesn’t matter if the engineers “feel” more productive.
- onethought 4y agoI mean being Real, most CEOs seem to not know how to do that either… All the “top companies” are cash fires with VC backing.
- whateveracct 4y agoHow would a C-level person measure my productivity? Go on GitHub and filter for my PRs and count .. merges/week? commits/week? lines/week? lol
