this omniscient vision of software development work still comes with significant unintended consequences. First, if this monitoring were done at a team or organization level by managers, how would being monitored change developers’ behavior? The effect of being observed so thoroughly might actually result in developers self-monitoring their every action, unintentionally reducing productivity. Even if this were a net increase in productivity, it might also lead to developers leaving the organization, moving to organizations that were a little less like Big Brother.
