Nobody seriously measures "speed" in terms of how many words you type per minute. HN is pretty much in agreement that lines of code per day is a bad measurement of progress/accomplishment, right? We've seen so many bad variations on this concept: * Butts in seats means work is being done * Movement is progress etc. It's all bunk, of course, and here we are with agile. Corporate types are collecting some metric and the larger the value the higher the developer speed. Or so they think. Ideally, "speed" in this context is about direction. They are almost interchangeable. If you are going in the right direction, you have some amount of positive speed. Otherwise, it is negative or zero. |
