Exactly. I won't unless you hire me :wink:

TBH I will post an article, I'm finishing it. But it won't be so doomy, but rather on what to avoid to not fail

I strongly believe increasing the rate at which one produces code misses the point.

If engineers already know up front with clarity what they need to build, and, the leadership are very focused and concentrate resources on doing a few things.. then increasing the rate at which LOC is written is not beneficial - because getting the product built right is what matters.

  • Exactly. We all laughed at the cases where productivity was measured in lines of code. But now the whole world somehow optimize for it.

    • I did a degree in comp sci but my focus through my career is at the intersection of product design, economics and corporate finance/valuation whilst working with software engineers.

      Im beginning to realise people who are too concentrated on one dimension (e.g software engineering) can’t see how things actually fit together. You only know what you know I guess.. but it’s blindly obvious to me.
