    Company year #OKRs
    Decrease time to market in software development by 20%.
    I am just thinking if I ever heard better textbook example of #GoodhartsLaw and #metricFixation this is not going to happen well, can’t see that huge pile of technical debt at the end of year.

    Instead of metric fixation, joy fixation. Learning goes where intrinsic motivation leads.

    Measurement kills curiosity, joy, and intrinsic motivation.

    Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”.

    Step 1 of motivating learning: Restore curiosity and joy. Stop measuring everything.

    What if all the reductionist scientism of “the science of” frameworks were replaced with “the joy of”? That change of framing would serve us far better, including when teaching STEM.
