On: Ask HN: Does your company track bugs shipped by team?

No. Seems like an awful metric, and also one that would be easily gamed.

Gamed by not shipping bugs?

[ac2u → paulcole]

Gamed by not writing software.

Or inconsistency in how bugs are reported and tracked. Or variations on what is considered a "bug". Or huge natural differences between fe and be teams, same with customer facing vs internal facing products.

Head tap meme. Can't have bugs if there's no software.
