Management just presented the first reports from our new Waydev setup, and it feels like a huge step backward. The main focus was on "impact" and "throughput", which in practice were just glorified commit counts and PR sizes.

The highest quality work my team does, debugging complex issues, mentoring juniors, architectural planning, is completely invisible to this tool. On top of that, the onboarding seemed really complex and technical, taking ages to get our repos synced properly.

How do you fight back against this kind of reductionist view of engineering? Has anyone successfully pushed back against a Waydev implementation, or found a way to use it that doesn't just penalize the engineers doing the most valuable work?
