> You can be highly productive and yet produce nothing of value.
I'm sorry, but this is nonsense.
Yes, you can produce nothing of 'traditional' value whilst still being productive in some way , but you 100% can not be 'highly productive' when you don't produce anything of value.
Sitting around and jacking off all day is not as productive as working on some unmonetizable project. The value can be in many aspects of that project.
In a mind boggling number of companies, “productive” measures output, not value.
No offense, but it sounds like you just skipped reading the blog and jumped right to the comment section.
The blog post is literally about various measures that seem "productive" but don't seem to be creating any value.
