studies show a clear trend – output is up (more code, more commits, bigger diffs), but outcomes don’t reflect that trend. If anything, the average team is taking longer to ship worse software

We’ve known measuring output by lines of code is counterproductive for a long time.
I contributed -13,000 lines of code this week. Very proud
Has management known that?
A lot of problems seem to be downstream from “management are idiots and assholes”
I’m sure there were pockets but it legitimately seemed like that dragon had been slain until recently. Trying to assign more meaning to scrum points has been in vogue for a while though.
Can you retell my company that?
For a small exorbitant consulting fee that legitimizes me, I can tell them that.
