Counting lines of code from a developer is like doing a word count on a poet's work.
Every single KPI listed above can be manipulated, means nothing, shows nothing except many will try to game the system by:
- Needlessly adding lines of code.
- Committing excessively.
- Closing too many PRs too early or opening too many PRs too soon.
- Meeting attended, people will needlessly attend meetings or create meetings.
- Prod deployments, people will needlessly push to prod.
And like that for all the listed.
