Coding Is When We’re Least Productive
Summary
The author argues that productivity is not measured by lines of code or speed, but by the net value created through learning and understanding the problem. Real productivity emerges from observing real-world usage, talking to stakeholders, and validating changes, rather than constant, head-down coding. A POS example shows how small context-informed changes can save money and improve outcomes, highlighting the value of feedback loops over raw coding output.
