How do you measure output of a software developer? Any measurement I've seen ([1] except the devops ones) just get gamed and become useless.

The irony here is that "40 hour week of 'productive' work" is also gamed/wrong...

I think, given the right culture, other measures might work well. Not perhaps for a bonus structure, but for helping employees honestly evaluate how they're doing.

... and devolve into (actually measurable) number of hours in the chair.
