programming was never about how fast you could type. the person who wrote this knows nothing about the job.
the description is gold, everyone can find something wrong about it.
And yet somehow the tech blogs and such always scream about developer productivity. Go faster. Go faster.
From what I’ve seen over the years, only mids care about finishing fast.
Yes, but quality takes actual skill to measure, instead of just a diff.
(Although I guess lines are still better than time in office)
I would never trust anything a tech blog's opinion piece says blindly
The guy who wrote this is an idiot, but he became so in a world where "LoC" is a metric -- one that Goodhart would love, but alas.
This is honestly the road to hell and the ~good intentions in one.
