The great thing about measuring developer productivity is that you can quickly identify the bad programmers. I want to tell you about the worst programmer I know, and why I fought to keep him in the team.

    Darn. I went into that article hoping to hear a hillarious article about some coder who insisted on using only his self-written buggy bubble sort implementation rather than the sort methods in the standard library or who they couldn’t get to quit deleting necessary features from the codebase.

    Good story even so.

        There’s no way this is real. Completely insane.

          It might seem not real or insane to us, peasants. But not for Tom. Tom is a genius.

        What the actual fuck. It’s a made up story I’m sure.
