For Amazon, the apparently have really good tooling to examine what people, at least coders, are doing. This is from presumably an Amazon employee : "Amazon has these numbers easily accessible as reports on their code systems runnable at any manager level, and many other ways to inspect what the team is doing and the risks you might have. I find them useful. Bus factor is one way to think of it. Another is it lets you spot silos, or engineers who aren't working with others, or places where you can't as easily move engineers around (so you can fix that). Some developers fear fungability, they think that that one system only they know is job security. I see it the other way, I see that as a technical risk, but also a thing that might be keeping a great engineer from working on more important projects. Or the way to work on something else when you get fed up with that one system you hate." from : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42111260 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42111260
