Developer First Engineering Metrics

Engineering metrics for developers are becoming more popular and they going in a negative direction and I want to fix this with my developer first engineering metrics. Solutions like GitPrime (now Pluralsight Flow), GitHub Insights (formerly Gitlaytics) and other similar solutions are giving non-technical people a false sense that you can easily roll up metrics to quantify developer productivity. In the "The Space of Developer Productivity" [1] that was posted on HackerNews this week, it goes into great detail to explain that there are a lot of variables at play. In the business world,…

Engineering metrics for developers are becoming more popular and they going in a negative direction and I want to fix this with my developer first engineering metrics. Solutions like GitPrime (now Pluralsight Flow), GitHub Insights (formerly Gitlaytics) and other similar solutions are giving non-technical people a false sense that you can easily roll up metrics to quantify developer productivity. In the "The Space of Developer Productivity" [1] that was posted on HackerNews this week, it goes into great detail to explain that there are a lot of variables at play. In the business world, business intelligence is widely accepted and business leaders do not assume business insights will come easily. People are actually hired to generate business intelligence reports and I'm hoping this type of attitude is adopted for developer insights as well. There are a lot of variables at play, and it should be expected that leaders will need to work for meaningful developer insights. Right now, I'm still early in my research, but I believe impact based metrics is something developers and leaders can get behind. Rather than repeat what I've written before in another thread, you can learn more about my thoughts on impact based metrics at https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=26457072&goto=item%3Fid%3D26452550%2326457072 Like the saying goes, a single line change can take more work than a hundred, and that is ultimately what I want GitSense (my solution) to be able to show. If you want to play around with GitSense, you can do so at https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos and if you want to install it, you can find the instructions at https://gitsense.com [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26452550
