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

+ to create issues? to review code?

if you see coding as factory work you have the wrong mindset imo

If coding to you is just pushing code like you just push levers in a factory, that's not engineering work. That's just worker work.
