I really don't get this. This just feels way more bullshit marketing thing. I would rather have the "throwaway statements". It actually tells me what you were doing in that job and does it quickly. The "xyz" is also not feasible for a lot of people since they don't have access to metrics like those.
If written well, the Z is the "throwaway statement" but along with X and Y it explains how you brought value. This "value" doesn't make sense to a lot of developers because what developers appreciate most is hack value. But managers and directors appreciate business value instead.
Let me give a couple examples that hopefully help expand on the idea and show that you can include Z for hack value while also showing business value with X and Y:
Made 100 more developer hours available each year by implementing a data pipeline in Akka and Spark that gave business stakeholders the ability to dynamically retrieve data insights and eliminated ad-hoc service requests for data.
Improved customer experience, as measured by an average 150ms lower latency in service responses, by using JMeter and JVisualVM to identify and remove bottlenecks in a Java service.
Saved operating costs as measured by $100,000 lower AWS spend for 2020 by migrating services to the more performant Play! Framework and RxJava libraries, thereby reducing the size of service pools.

Hope it helps.
This actually makes a lot of sense. I just started out in my career but it really helps me to see what value my work actually bring
