Pretty dumb to think you can infer effort from the code itself.
You make one "smart invocation" to a remote microservice and replace 1000 lines of code!
The information for effort is not available at the code level - sorry to burst your bubble.
- adchurch 2y agoOur algorithm gives lots of credit to removing old lines of code! But to your broader point, I think there certainly is information about effort at the code level. Consider for example these two PRs: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/pull/23858 https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/pull/23858 and https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/209557 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/209557. It's pretty easy to tell which one was more effort even if you don't know anything about the process for how they were implemented. Do you have any shareable examples you want me to test out? Or of course you can try it yourself :)
