> I’m convinced that managers and companies don’t want productivity from their employees, what they want is alignment and legibility. That's like saying managers and companies don't want productivity from their employees, they want developers to write lots of tests under the guise of making code more robust, lots of documentation under the guise of making it more maintainable, and do lots of code review to ensure it meets the team's standards of quality. If we didn't have to do all that testing, documentation, and code review, we'd be able to move a lot faster! Speed and productivity aren't synonymous.
