Will they then make the rankings visible for the bosses so they can check who was paying attention and who wasn't?
(After seeing a couple of things in Office 365, it would not surprise me at all)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Exactly. Nothing exemplifies productivity like playing video games during work hours.
Next on the list, Netflix. I know I code my best when Netflix is playing on one monitor and I am coding in the other. What could go wrong?

I say it's a trap (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - It's a Trap !!! - YouTube[^])
Now management *knows* when you aren't paying attention. Worse, I suspect their are backdoors to allow management to cheat.

My former company will be evacuating masonry. They did a hefty split to build basically the same thing but with obnoxious Amazon interaction, less comforts and the dumbest AI ever saw.

Only 30% of respondents from other industries are as concerned about the risks associated with their IT staff. Maybe it's time for a few more of those trust exercises?
Get the bank CEO to fall backwards into the arms of their IT team or something. You know, beside a pit. With spikes at the bottom.

Given the idiocy I've seen surrounding bank cyber security, I'd say it's closer to 100%.
- Things like passwords can't be more than x (where x is a single digit) characters.
- Requiring you zip and password protect the zip file before you upload it - sounds to me like they're using a non-secure upload back end (FTP over SSH comes to mind).
- Requiring you install their software to use their services - this is very common in the business side of the bank.
- etc.

The strength of the software development team is each individual developer. The strength of each developer is the team. How else are managers going to figure out how many whips to buy next year?
If recent history is any guide, the CEO knows everything about the platform. So, they can judge how worthwhile each dev automagically.

I have yet to see any way to measure this quantitatively, let alone qualitatively. Maybe it could be done by giving two developers the same assignment, but who's going to fund that? And if you chose a different assignment, the outcome could be rather different.
Most of my career was spent designing and developing in-house application frameworks that improved other people's productivity. How much of the increase (or decrease  ) in their productivity would then be imputed to me?
The article suggests measuring team performance. I don't see how that's any easier. It says that individual developers are only as strong as their teams, which in my experience is a false platitude.

I wonder why I never see articles about measuring manager productivity.
I guess because the answer is, what's there to measure?

Managers are supporting roles. A good manager does not produce, improves the productivity of their underlings. Facing the various customers / agencies / validators, managing licenses and supplies, setting tasks' priority under his own responsibility.
I had very few good managers but they do exist.

You can find GitHub Codespaces in 50+ LinkedIn Learning tech courses to get real-world software development environments for today’s six most popular programming languages, as well as key topics like data science, AI, and machine learning. Again surprising me that LinkedIn is for something other than telling your coworkers that you're looking for a new job

Much the same is true in the stock market. People tend to buy when everyone is excited during a bull market, but panic out during major corrections. The average retail investor significantly underperforms the market, though I don't think the majority actually lose money.

The settlement outlines that Google misled its users into thinking they had turned off location tracking even as the company continued to collect their location information. Not evil, just nosy?
“For years Google has prioritized profit over their users’ privacy” <-- isn't that the new corporate slogan?

Not really, now it's plain that it's unlawful and any repeated behavior is penally relevant.
