@ksylor @drewpickard omg! simple-minded metrics suuuuuck. I got dinged once at a gig years ago because my PR count was “low”, without even considering that maybe I didn’t need to follow every feature up with 3–5 bug fix PRs because I actually created quality stuff the first time around…?
@revin @ksylor @drewpickard Wuuuuuuut. Using that metric to identify “low performers” is the most bonkers amateur smooth brain thing I can think of. Oh my.
