Managers often have trouble recognizing the difference, though. Even if they know the difference, measuring actual productivity is difficult and subjective, measuring number of pull requests or number of JIRA tickets closed is easy and objective.

> easy and objective.
that’s the worst kind of data - gives a meaningless feeling of objectivity.
- Better (usually simpler) designs.
- Breaking the problem and choosing the order in which things are implemented.
- Setting up usefull feedback loops.
- etc, etc.
It is a lot about judgment.
