A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

If you HAD to use just ONE metric to measure an engineer in your startup...

what would you use? 😈

weird internet kid. helping Creators with /seemore. yapping on /okbanger. curating in /creators and /cameron. dev + veteran + HBS. 
seemore.tv/cameron 🫡

I'd measure based on whatever meaningful KPI or north star metric they moved at a company-level.

eg, revenue, DAUs, retention, etc

LOC / number of commits / other metrics like this are bad

cma.xyz. Founder /paragraph, ceo /mirror, previously at Google & Coinbase 

Depends on the size of the company but even at Google, managers should ensure that company-level OKRs are reflected in the tasks that individuals are working on.

Good leaders should set good company goals/targets, and determine what gets worked on in order to move these needles

I hear that - how do you think about balancing this with the agency of dev's who often don't have control over what they're building?
