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

let's build clank.fun. prev: web3 founder, improbable, github, amazon. ntik.me

cookin' @askgina.eth https://askgina.ai, @consensys class '17 - INTP

imo its just too easy to hide behind bureaucracy in larger orgs, especially when other engineers don't care + managers don't even understand what they do

again ty for sharing

love some data stats

I'm just more amazed at the hours spent to interview those ghost hires even pre salary

Ok, the guy based his whole study on GitHub activity... That tells a lot about how ignorant he is about the engineer's work...
