Use measuring tape. Quality is inversely proportional to proximity to π * B where B/π is the height of the ideal programmer.
Quality is related to caffeine intake, so count nr of cups of coffee.
Black only of course. No suger.
Oh no! But I don't like coffee... do you think my job is at risk?! /s
Absolutely! Unless you can repair a stick printer
In before someone mentions WTFPM
I like to measure developers by their ability to fix a printer.
Everybody knows that if they have a developer in the family they must know how to fix a printer otherwise they must be a noob!
For some reason my family went paperless a long time ago....🤔
The less they are willing to be paid, the better.
If they can do the work of twelve people, they are also better.
10 years of experience for a 3 years technology? Automatically better.
Microsoft Docs as IDE? Boom: better.
Don't want to learn something new and better because lazy or opinionated? That's right you guessed it: #betterdev
Print out their code and put them next to it.

Oooo, if we combine this measurement with @inhuofficial 's of fixing the printer first I think we might be getting somewhere!
With the metric system.
I much prefer to be measured in bald eagles per apple pies, thank you very much.
At least it's not the imperial system 😆
The only true way to know a code master is by the amount of plaid on their plaid shirts
