They are absolutely BS because 99% of programming is unquantifiable. There are too many variables. I added 5 features this quarter and sales went up 5%. Is it because of the features, or better sales techniques, or dumb luck?

"Redesigned the web pages and user satisfaction went up 10%" - but also you hired 5 more customer support agents and a backend engineer improved the slow pages by 30%.

"Created a new CMS in python (Based on the old CMS) (With a team of 2 others and one guru who did the design but I wrote his code) resulting in 70% reduction in update times (after we ran it in a cluster with twice the resources but I never could understand clustering so guess it was my coding)" "And didn't have time to write tests, and that project was canned because it took too long actually"
