> A great example is refactoring. Say you hired a dev and he delivered a product that worked but is written terribly (already a question there, how do you gauge that in terms of 'results'?). Now you hire a second dev to clean it up and make it maintainable. How do you evaluate when he has delivered the 'results'? Easy. Lines of code. The first developer did an awesome jobs, many lines of code were written. The second one is a lousy hack, he earned about $50 (not $50k). This is ridiculous of course, but it does show how even bad measurements are preferred over non-measurement. |
