“If you’re a manager here in 2024 wondering why your people – you know, the people worried they might not have a job next week if they can’t convince a VP that a 90 minute commute to an open plan office where the only doors that close are in the bathroom isn’t exactly a boon to productivity – might not be laser-focused on “developer velocity” or “CI/CD throughput”, I have some questions for you.”
I wrote a few words – a lot of words, really – about management and metrics for my job.
I think they’re good words – strong words, occasionally – and in a pleasant order. Maybe you’d like to read them.
