Are we too dependent on frameworks and technologies to do any engineering anymore? Is development just copying and pasting from stack overflow and hoping any errors that arise can be fixed by chat gpt? Are abstractions are sign of progress or a regression for the field?
Measuring developer productivity is a tarpit of an issue. McKinsey has now waded into it by adding its own criteria on top of DORA and SPACE, specficially: * Inner/outer loop time spent * A Developer Velocity Index (DVI) benchmark * Contribution analysis * Talent capacity score
