My last company started stack ranking people on number of GitHub commits - as if each commit is equivalent and the only thing that mattered is the quantity. Soon enough, we started seeing lots of politics, cutthroat environment, management pressure, management meetings looking at dashboards of commits, stack ranks, PIPs and firings, but also a significant rise in the number of commits. One year later, commits metric won. But the business lost customers tired of buggy software. You got what you measure but quantity does not substitute quality.
