As engineers, it's easy for us to measure inputs (how much time we're spending) and outputs (lines of code written or features produced), but what really matters are the business outcomes (customers acquired and retained, revenue growth metrics, profitability), which are less directly related. It's always useful for us to step back and ask ourselves: what's the point?
