Best performing by what metric? There aren't meaningful ways to measure engineer "performance" that makes them comparable as far as I know.

Your org doesn't track engineering impact?

What about git stats?

I can tell you the guys that are consistently pushing code AND having the biggest impact are using LLM tools.

Are we measuring productivity by lines of code again? This was treated as unserious for decades.

[kaydub]

Why ignore where I mention engineering impact??? Come on, be real here

[ozozozd]

What git stats do you have that show “impact”?

The OP was right to assume it was lines of code. Another assumption could be number of commits, which also doesn’t measure impact.

[HDThoreaun]

Track engineering impact and git stats were two separate suggestions in that comment. Every org tracks impact through performance reviews.

[matkoniecz]

Probably because you mentioned "git stats".

What you meant by that?

[kaydub]

High number of days with commits, merging and shipping code consistently (some people/project will ship multiple times a day/week, some projects move a little slower).

That plus the completion of high impact projects makes good strong engineers.

Those are the people I see using LLMs

[direwolf20]

So quantity of code?
