My company uses scrum to try to track engineering output. My boss looks at metrics like line counts. It is extremely stressful to be on a team of people who are all worried about losing their jobs and will accidentally (?) commit your changes to their MR. It's extremely stressful to spend all day doing research tracking down a weird issue in prod, deploying a hotfix finally, and realizing that all of that effort, which did not go towards anything you were supposed to be working on that sprint, but was nonetheless necessary, resulted in a one line change. 8 hours of your life, feeling highly stressed, maybe skipping lunch, results in fixing one typo somewhere. You think about how you'll get a bad performance review despite working hard.<p>I wish I was on a team of engineers who just did their work and didn't worry about gaming the system. I wish the engineers I worked with had enough time to be careful that such small mistakes, which are difficult to track down after the fact, did not make it to prod to cause our customers grief. I wish that management was competent enough to know that adding a missing quotation mark to the repo isn't just adding a missing quotation mark to the repo.
