The great thing about measuring developer productivity is that you can quickly identify the bad programmers. I want to tell you about the worst programmer I know, and why I fought to keep him in the team.
It just sounds like Tim was no longer a developer and should have a manager title, as he was training and teaching and on boarding all the time.
If his title was no longer developer, because he wasn’t doing any development on his own, said metrics wouldn’t apply to him anymore, and the issue would be resolved in a reasonable way.

That was a common sentiment on the hacker news discussion on this story.
I don’t disagree.
