Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.
1. Impact. How much revenue does my work protect or generate?
2. Quality. Does my work meet or exceed customer expectations?
3. Efficiency. Reward making the right buy versus build decision.
4. Reusability. How do others leverage my work?
5. Supportability. How much work do I create for others?

a question for the people who write code for money:
if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g.
- Small changes
- Test that the change works before moving on
- (unit) tests wherever you can
