    What about my comment made you believe I was using gut feelings to judge anything? My ticket completion rate, number of tickets, story points, and number of projects completed all point to massive productivity gains.

      The end of your comment was

      But the productivity and quality debates are absolutely ridiculous

      Which is a general statement and not dealing with your specific circumstance. If a tool works for you, by all means keep using it.

      However, broadly across software that is not the case. So the “productivity and quality debates” are not ridiculous … the data supports the sceptics.

        Absolute nonsense. Do people talk shit about hammers because some people keep hitting their hands with them? Do people complain about how useless ladders are, as one of the single most dangerous items in any household?

        I don’t think we should be putting these tools in the hands of junior devs - as the studies show, it hinders their productivity and learning. But to generally claim that they are bad tools with no upsides is just as ridiculous as the strawman you set up.
