“one company found that its most talented developers were spending excessive time on noncoding activities such as design sessions or managing interdependencies across teams.”
We don't need to spend time on system design and making sure it works across teams! What a time and resources waste.
“To truly benefit from measuring productivity, leaders and developers alike need to move past the outdated notion that leaders “cannot” understand the intricacies of software engineering, or that engineering is too complex to measure. “
Corporate dogma at its finest.
I’m deeply, deeply, concerned that my engineers spend too much time thinking!
If only there was an organisation that could charge me millions per day per bum (ideally non-practitioners) to confirm my suspicions in PowerPoint form.
Understanding the problem? Design? Waste of time!!! You need a "software factory" code-test-deploy. From the same guys who predicted the cloud is a fad and everyone should build their own data centre, or cellular tech will never take off.
Sadly, there would be many listening to them and make changes accordingly and suffer badly.
