It’s even more important to understand this question because most engineers don’t like to be measured. So why measure at all?

Episode Highlights include:

  • What should you measure for?
  • Measuring as a tool for good and bad
  • What should not be measured
  • Can you make progress if you aren’t measuring?
  • How measuring demonstrates what you care about
