> We’re told of the hero, who goes against their managers and executives and doesn’t deliver any stories

> Meanwhile in the real world, hordes of awful engineers deliver no story points

Do you think the point here is that not delivering on one specific metric is a good thing, or that not delivering one specific metric can't be assumed to be the whole picture?

It’s the latter, but my point is that’s a tired and weak argument to make.

The blog poster could’ve asked, why does the manager want me to deliver the story points? It’s because Jake is also delivering zero story points and he’s a terrible engineer and it’s a good canary metric.
