Hey guys, i am wondering, how do you measure productivity of developers in your team? I have been using RescueTime app but is too general, not focused on developers. Also, i tried WakaTime plugin into code editor, but it is saying a much... just general stats.
Any tips which data collect? Or how to measure collected data? Eg. number of commits a day, number of pull requests? Lines added vs lines removed? Etc?<p>Thanks in advance

This sounds like trying to judge a visual artist based on how many liters of paint they used, or installing a security camera to monitor how long they sat in front of their canvas.
When I worked as a dev in an agency - I _hated_ with a passion anything that felt like it was tracking my time or productivity. It made me not want to be there and made me felt like the time I spent figuring out how to do my job was wrong. Maybe I'm being oversensitive, but it just felt so untrusting.<p>Working for myself I use Harvest. Start the clock when I'm working on something, stop it when I'm not. That gives me a decent idea on how to charge for what I do.
