Not that hard, but also why would you want to promote based on metrics? That will get you people gaming the system, and I can't imagine a single software dev metric that actually captures the full gamut of value a dev can provide. You will surely miss very valuable devs in your metrics.
- bloppe 1y agoI didn't realize "performance tracking" actually just meant "blind metric tracking". Are there lots of rules to differentiate the good kinds of metrics (like actual outcomes for customers and co-workers) from the bad kinds of metrics (like time spent using an LLM)? Sounds like this is all about treating a symptom (poor business leadership) rather than a root cause (noncompetitive markets).
