Uber is now counting diffs per engineer.

FYI some VP had the bright idea of counting diffs at Uber. Originally it was just tracked as a proxy for general developer productivity but now it’s being used as a stick. If you don’t want to be micromanaged by directors that haven’t coded in years, best to look at other companies.
If you do interview and turn down the offer, do those still at Uber a favor and tell your recruiter that diff counting is an engineering culture red flag.
