I totally get this - that's how I felt initially, but I was shocked to find that the vast majority of orgs are using bad metrics like LOC or commit counts anyway. Our belief is that replacing those with something much more accurate can help the entire industry.

I worked as a manager in a big tech company that used metrics such as amount of PRs done, amount of PR reviews and etc. At least with those when there were questions based on those metrics - I was able to contextualize and explain to upper management why for a particular eng they show a dip even when their performance is stellar.

How am I going to do that with your blackbox metrics when this need arises?

Also I don't have a Google account, so I can't even get pass your frontpage that has no info?
