Developers,
We've spent decades arguing •against• source lines-of-code and numbers of commits as a measure of productivity. If you're an AI convert, your proselytizing will be unconvincing if you show charts of your SLOCs and commits increasing.
Show us:
• How many more features shipped?
• How many more of your customers are happy?
Showing how you are measuring business outcomes is way more convincing than showing that you're only measuring code output.

@robbkidd@hachyderm.io My favorite thing is when commit metrics don't even increase with AI. https://zomglol.wtf/@jamie/116053287312218279
