This metric seems silly on its face. 10 bucks to get 18% more productivity out of a $10k per month developer? If this was indeed the case, everyone who employs software engineers would instantly pay this. Maybe they should have marketed more? Or maybe there are other problems with the technology (e.g., fears over copyright infringement?).

- IshKebab 4y agoYeah the problem is the "if" part. It may well be true but productivity is notoriously hard to measure and anyone making any claims about exact productivity increases is clearly pulling a number out of the air. People know this. We have plenty of techniques that we know improve productivity (e.g. static types) but some people still don't believe it because it's really hard to prove productivity increases.
