JP Morgan measures devoloper by amount of commits made

To be considered a good dev you have to make 40-60 commits in 4 months, if you are in the bottom 20% you are PIP'ed or managed out. I feel there are so many problems with weaponizing analytics like these. It's anti agile and goes against development best practices there's also so many good study's against weaponizing metrics this way. TC: 125k

This is even dumber than measuring lines of code added

That's a nice way of saying it, I couldn't believe I was hearing this or looking at these metrics. I was like is everyone seeing this, am I getting punked?!

Exactly what some are doing, introducing defects and 40 commits later fixed lol

Lol this is dumb af

JPMorgan Chase +187+ OP Dec 15, 2019

Exactly, I couldn't believe senior devs were pushing this... I was very dissapointed...

Clearly they don't think their engineers are very smart. I can't be the only one who would rig a from job to out empty commits every few hours during the business day.

JPMorgan Chase +187+ OP Dec 16, 2019

Tell me about it, it's only commits to certain branches though.

Bloomberg AMI<GO> Dec 16, 2019

When has that stopped anyone?

> 40-60 Does that mean making too many commits also bad?

JPMorgan Chase +187+ OP Dec 17, 2019

Probably considered a super developer

Ridiculous

Bloomberg endgal Dec 16, 2019

Lol, stop squashing your commits then

JPMorgan Chase AAWU37 Dec 16, 2019

I've been on 3 teams in CIB, no manager has ever once asked me about or mentioned anything about commit count. I think your on a dud team.

JPMorgan Chase +187+ OP Dec 17, 2019

Yea it's an LOB I didn't believe it myself until I saw the conference discussion. My jaw dropped, I wanted to stab myself in my ears.

My manager asked me to improve commits and hr pulling these reports last year.

Bloomberg BS<GO> Dec 17, 2019

Lol. Thank god they didn’t say, they ll reward the number 1 contributor from githubs ranking of contributors :D

JPMorgan Chase +187+ OP Dec 17, 2019

Lmao, I would win with all the broken pieces of code I commit.
