Code Time is really a must have! I was looking for an extension like this one. Thank you.
The last one is really cool. I'll try it. Thank you for sharing!
Code Time looks cool. Definitely going to try it. Thanks for sharing :)
I have used code time & I can assure that it has burned me out by showing how many actual hours I was coding. It has some metrics it considers as coding time. For example, if I am looking at a problem thinking about it after opening my editor, then after 10 seconds(or some threshold) of inactivity, it assumes I am not coding until I hit a key. So, it might be a good metrics collector for beginners who're interested in trying to do lot of things. But if you're someone who's actively in a TL/Senior role, it will make you feel bad.
I am not against codetime/any other tools that show these metrics. Instead, I believe in the fact that developer productivity is better when we understand we & people who employ us trust us and know that we're doing a great job. Just a little human side from all the Tech bloat that happens around.
