經典熱潮重起的好處是，之前沒

Metrics considered dangerous

Wandering Thoughts | June 17, 2006, 1:18 a.m. | Original

It's a general truism in software development that metrics are oftendangerous, because people will naturally work to what you pay attentionto (to summarize). If you pay attention to bugs closed, people closebugs; if you pay attention to lines of code written, people write code.The dangers inherent in this are hopefully obvious.

(In fact it happens outside of software development too; consider allof the schools that are busy 'teaching to the test', because variousstandardized tests have become so important

許多時在工作上都要創造奇蹟
不是什麼偉大的事
也不是什麼了不起的任務
不過在做的過程中
總是要在短到不能再短的時間內完成一些難度極大的事

完成了之後
所有人都覺得是理所當然的
甚至有人會以為這樣的事理應輕鬆完成
