I find it unbelievable how apparently smart people are disconnected from context. If you genuinely believe he did that to measure performance then I've nothing to tell you. I understood that as an exercise to prove that Twitter employs engineers who don't write a line of code for months and it turned out to be true. It was an easy way to weed out lazy, entitled or otherwise useless employees who are just a waste of money. Which is how Twitter managed to get into such a bad financial position - wasting money for unnecessary expenses.
