The Most Important Performance Management Rule for Software Engineers

I agree with the general premise that consistently shipping and chunking your work to make that possible is very important.

Personally I know that I feel a lot better on weeks I ship vs weeks I don’t ship.

Obviously there is no 1 size fits all solutions for, well, anything.

> You should have had them made sure they were shipping code each week from week 1.

Sounds like a factory setting. I’m not sure if this is real.

Agreed, this seems like shallow advice. It seems to assume individual work rather than teamwork as well.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool XP'er, so I prefer continuous integration, which involves merging code every few hours.
