👻 Ghost Engineers

Debunking a stupid take on productivity

There is a new “research” circulating the World-Wide-Web. A research that says that at least 1 out of 10 engineers are GHOSTS! They perform less than 0.1x of a median developer, they do virtually no work, and some of them event collect paycheck from multiple companies!

Apparently, this research was written by a Stanford MBA, and like any other MBA, he probably never spoke to a software engineer in his life, let alone tried to understand what is it that we do. But don’t worry, I’ve written a new article that explains everything: what’s the research, how it was conducted, and why it’s wrong.
