I'm sure many people have equated "typing code faster" with velocity, productivity, and execution speed. But I am not doing it. I'm saying that given N developers, if they all type code faster, you get more code. From th

Yep, this is an important point. We wanted the metrics to create the right set of incentives to make people improve the right parts of the system. For example, we did present deploy frequency prominently. This gets people to see it, manager

> Why do line managers want this info? Do you think they have someone in mind for promotion, and they are looking for metrics of accomplishment? Nah, you don't need to assume malice :) Most times it was managers with good intentions

I worked on an internal platform for a large engineering org and was responsible for choosing what features we put in. We had the technical means to track everything from commits to reviews, jiras, deploys, etc. Some of our most celebrated

Yeah that was my point. In the end both approaches can be fine (depends on your context). The real difference is that whatever choice you take, it will need the right investment in tooling and support.

"This scale – the scale of devprod, and in turn the scale of the overall organization, such that it could afford 10 FTEs on tooling – was a major factor in our choices" Is basically the summary for most mono/multi repo discus

“Anytime you apply a rule too universally, it turns into an anti-pattern“. Quote from Will Larson found in another HN post ( https://review.firstround.com/unexpected-anti-patterns-for-e... ) right after checking out this one.

My main advice would be to obfuscate those identifiers in a way that you can use the semantics in the very specific system do want/intend to, but prevent the rest of the organization / systems / external world from using them

> best practice is usually to encrypt it before sending it to the external world Yeah, although encryption is basically a way of hiding semantics from the external world (or, everyone else but whoever generates them) no?

If a pizza team struggles to work in small independent changes, and end up having to deal with long lived branches, merge festivals etc. then the problem is really not in the tool chain.

Yes, I assumed you did need some integration with the user's account (my case). Thanks for the answer!

A business model based on engineers as the decision makers is perfectly possible. But it is confined to tools where an engineer can make a local optimisation without direct impact beyond that scope. IDEs are the best example. Engs in a com
