Someone should add more KPIs into the mix. Surely we can play business politics better than those shit brained AI peddling monkeys.

  • What’s your rework percentage?
  • What’s your failure rate?
  • What’s your code churn rate?
  • What’s your spec-drift rate?
  • What’s your mean time to recovery?
  • What’s your defect-escape rate?
  • What’s your code cohesion score?
  • What’s your problem-discovery time?
  • What’s your cost per change over time?
  • What’s your risk appetite for losing all your devs to an inadequate replacement?

We’ve been finding ways to track dev performance for a long time. Surely we can call upon the correct set of KPI overlords to demonstrate, without actually saying, that AI is hot garbage for the scope it’s given.
