There's the clear connection to revenue potential between zero and one commits. I don't think commits and LoC are linear to someone's value to the codebase or org, but IME there's strong correlation between consistently low commits and lines of code output and ineffectiveness. Hard problems and low output happen situationally, generally not for quarters and years on end.

And most companies are not stuck at the first commit. > Hard problems and low output happen situationally, generally not for quarters and years on end. Absolutely untrue. The hardest problems I have solved required me to build observability over 2 quarters, write RFCs and get buy-in from other engineers. None of these contribute to commits.
- evilduck 3y ago> The hardest problems I have solved required me to build observability And you were able to do this without writing a line of code and committing it?
- nine_zeros 3y ago> The hardest problems I have solved required me to build observability Yes. I personally did not commit a single line because I had to influence other engineers to do apply said commits in their own repositories. I had 0 commits for 6 months.
