Salespeople have clear scores: the $$$ they bring in. But for developers, there are no score points. They are often judged by what the manager feels, not by how much they contribute. This disconnect is hurting in two big ways: Big tech firms implement systems to prevent these issues. But most startups don’t because setting them up takes too much time and resources. With advancements in LLMs like GPT4, even small companies can evaluate developers in a cost-effective manner. Let me walk you through how you can use GitAnalytics to evaluate your developers.

I run two fully remote businesses: a dev agency, and a Twitter SaaS. So I juggle client meetings, stand-ups, performance reviews, and fundraising. I tried to hire a VA to delegate some work, but the good ones were too expensive for me. So I tried a different route. I made a bot that fetches Github commit history and uses GPT4 to generate a report. And it worked! The bot checks our Git commits and makes a daily report. Now we save 90% of the time we used to spend preparing for our daily and weekly meetings.
