@stilkov Whatever happened to "if it can't be measured, it doesn't exist"? It's on us to come up with that proof, or discard the theory.

@stilkov @markusvoelter "Research showing 10x prod is flawed" => Interest to continue this? Panel at OOP, article with data (on both sides)?

@stilkov imho there's no such thing as generic productivity: it's always based on a specific task + the environment conditions vary too.
