Hi, thanks for making a point.
The same principle should be applied for delivering source code. The less code the better. Dev.to should actually be aware of it... but apparently that's not the case 😕
But to be fair quantity is much easier detectable than quality 😆
good point Florian! I heard that developers used to get paid by lines of code in early days of software development. Looking for a source, I found this (not finished reading though)
The oldest metric for software projects is that of “lines of code” (LOC). This metric was first introduced circa 1960 and was used for economic, productivity, and quality studies
and getting paid by hours spent in an office or in front of the monitor by default these days is only slightly better, at least it's no longer about output quantitaty
This is what I really hated in most companies. Being there just for being there 9 to 5. Everyone especially the management distrusts each other to just screw around when they have no tasks.
In my opinion tasks should be planned for a sprint and when the tasks are done it's done. Every employee can use the time that's left to learn but does not have to.
There has to be some slack so that employees can be creative.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
