- kelseyfrog 3y agoWhats the incentive to share it? Disclosure is an alpha-erasing move.

- nine_zeros 3y agoOh it exists. Lines of code, number of commits, number of documents and other such BS uncorrelated with actual work. Imagine how poor management must be to think more lines of code == more revenue.
- wilde 3y agoThey are correlated until you admit to using them in the performance process. Then they’re far too easy to game and become useless. What we haven’t found is an adversary-resistant measure of productivity.
