技术绩效考量：你们可能都做错了

評估software engineering team performance嘅心法
- Focus on output，而唔係input
  - line of code 同加左幾多班唔係一個好嘅指標
- Focus on team, not individual
不良嘅指標
- Line of codes
- 速度
  - 每條team，每個task都唔同，唔係客觀嘅標準
  - 會減低同其他團隊合作嘅動機，因為會減慢自己嘅速度
- 利用率
  - 唔係話每個人D task都排滿就係好
  - 排滿task會少左彈性
正面例子
- Product delivery
  - 節奏
    - 交付周期
    - Deploy頻率
  - 穩定性
    - 恢複服務時間
    - 變更失敗率
- 質量
  - 簡單黎講就係deliver 出黎嘅價值
  - 好難有一個廣泛嘅定義，每個地方嘅情況都唔同
Other learning
- What is high performer?
  - Spent less time on rework and unplanned work

Chaos engineering 源自Netflix，由於cloud architecture太過複雜，好難debug，因此用「故障注入」去揾出系統嘅弱點。

People only pay what they think you’re worth

- We need to clearly define and communicating your value
Key question to ask when evaluating your value

外在獎勵可以令人集中，可以有效令人完成簡單嘅工作。
創意工作冇清晰嘅界定，冇單一嘅solution，外在獎勵令人視野更窄。唔可以改善創意工作嘅performance，有時候仲令情況惡化。
