What is developer productivity and how to measure it?

I’m getting a chuckle at the hubris in the comments so far.

Possibly the world expert at this point (Dr Nicole Forsgren) in this exact topic comes up with a framework based on the best of what she knows from years of studying this and refining her approach.

Random HN commenter: ahh just measure time to commit.

Random HN commenter: biases are cool, so just use personal judgement.

Article is confusing because it presents SPACE with proper "header" styling opening the section, but then rolls right into DORA as if it's another paragraphs instead of an entirely different section.

(you're still not wrong tho haha)

I cannot find anyone suggesting using time to commit as a metric in the existing comments.

I did reference this in the article.

> The DORA (DevOps Research and Assessment) framework introduced some metrics to track team flow, such as deployment frequency, which measures how frequently an organization successfully releases to production, and lead time for changes, which measures how long it takes a commit to reach production. If you're interested in the DORA framework, we published a dedicated article on How to implement the Four Key Accelerate DevOps Metrics.
