one in 10 engineers don’t do anything (study, n=50k)

I’m at Stanford and I research software engineering productivity. 

We have data on the performance of &gt;50k engineers from 100s of companies.

Inspired by @deedydas, our research shows:

~9.5% of software engineers do virtually nothing: Ghost Engineers (0.1x-ers) https://t.co/uygyfhK2BW
