My first daughter is due in November.
An NFL quiz might mention the massive contracts that are now offered to NFL players, which is all possible due to the popularity of the game. All in all Kentucky basketball has also proved to be beneficial in improving coordination skills of the players, as they have to coordinate their all body parts to play well and to work with their team mates against the opposing team and to defeat them. I think one attribute which is fairly easy to measure which correlates well with success as an engineer is IQ. I don’t think it’s completely impossible though. I think you can put up with certain personality foibles – this is, in many cases, where the market discards people who can thrive in certain dynamic environments, but do poorly in more structured jobs. Harvard MBAs, McKinsey alums and published “thought leaders” are the base stealers of the entrepreneurial world – important, but extremely overvalued by the market. Great post. To me, quiet productivity is the On Base Percentage of startups – the attribute undervalued by the market. The most striking outcome of this is that there are no real quantitative “developer productivity” metrics around.
Can some metrics be derived from activities like involvement in open source projects? Over the last few years, there seems to be a concerted effort to categorize Stallman and the GNU bunch as fanatics, and open source development as communistic. So, take a break over the holiday’s and make an effort to fish Bethany Lakes for a chance at Rainbow Trout! Give the virtual fans a well-deserved break by allowing them to buy a hot dog, popcorn and pop for under $100. And just like a second baseman who blows out his knee in training camp, Nacchio has declined to give the money back when it turns out he wasn’t so helpful after all. You can’t take feel completely out of the equation (or maybe I’m just an old scout myself) because I can spot great folks a mile away. I find in evaluating prospective tenants for vacant apartments that “feel” is more important than the application. However, if this coder sends me “fixed” things that aren’t really fixed, I know it, and I’ll say something because they are making more work for me with late nights and weekends near a release.
An athlete’s agent would not go for $10 million bucks a year if he didn’t know someone got $9.5 million last year. Rather than pick up the lineup where the last inning left off, how about starting each inning with the leadoff hitter? The problem is, not everyone’s born a great judge of people. Personally, I’d be inclined to go with the same principles as one of your other commenters – namely, look for people who got good peer reviews from people who they worked with previously. Afterall if wages were capped it would be illegal by European law, but also the star names wouldn’t venture to exotic locations such as Hull, or Portsmouth and that wouldn’t be good for TV rights deals. One experiment involved taking a set of successfull, experienced MDs, who claimed to be good judges of character and therefore good at hiring. The semi-finals are two-legged affairs with the winners advancing to the final, which over the years has emerged into one of the biggest and most important games in world football.

At QPR, the football environment is polar opposite compared to Chelsea in terms of the ambition and standing of the club. In the tweet below, the two pitches start off on opposite sides of one another, eventually crossing paths, and then running away from one another. The engineering/development community has always been pretty conflicted about metrics – on the one hand, people talk about metrics being bad since they might be used to reflect on performance/salary, and of course you have the usual “beware of the single guy in a garage” stuff. Going to a baseball game is just one option among many attractions. In baseball they say “you can’t teach speed” and in programming we say “you can’t make someone smarter”. But baseball rebounded – becoming more popular than ever during the steroid-fueled chase of home run records in the 1998 season. So, are there any other, more qualitative, metrics that might be used?
Sports games like Return Man and sports head basketball are video games that simulate the practice of playing actual sports. They wouldn’t just use tobacco, although there were a lot of pitchers who did not even use tobacco outside of games.
