It's baffling that with current iteration of hype mania all of the lessons about metrics were thrown out of the window. Goodhart's law anyone?

All of a sudden all of the terrible, horrifying methods of measuring lines of code, commits, tasks etc. resurfaced, like world was hit with an amnesia meteor.

Managers understand that metrics are meaningless. The idea is to have something to point at to scare engineers into jumping higher.

Exactly. All these internal “AI Leaderboards” are a proxy for “who is working.”
