The great thing about measuring developer productivity is that you can quickly identify the bad programmers. I want to tell you about the worst programmer I know, and why I fought to keep him in the team.
I’ve read the article a couple times now trying to understand why this resonates so hard with some people.
I have tried to bring up what I feel are valid points and the responses are not engaging with what I’ve discussed but acting like I lack the ability to understand.
I get that attacking me is easier than addressing my points; I have the social skills of a software engineer after all.
I like code because there is no arguing. It’s just math.
People on other hand are caught up in emotions and ego, creating anecdotes to fit their biases.
I can’t fix the tangled mess of the human mind, but I can fix the crazy spaghetti code those type of people create.
Firstly, anecdotes aren’t “created”. Anecdotes happen. The reason a singular anecdote isn’t accepted as fact is because without a pattern between isolated incidents there is no way to prove that an anecdote is not simply another isolated incident.
Things like this, needing to explain this concept is why I think you don’t understand. Your knowledge of English is clearly rudimentary, and you use words you don’t understand to explain concepts you understand less.
It is of no surprise to me that someone who doesn’t know how to communicate simultaneously doesn’t see the value in good communication. You are cog, cogs are not required to do anything beyond what they do.
You would be wrong.
