134<p>
135GitClear's "<a href="/diff_delta_factors">Diff Delta</a>" measurement cuts to the heart of what's happening in your git repos,
136so everyone on the team (technical or not)
137sees the development progress with the clarity of an experienced CTO. 🧐  &nbsp; We believe transparency improves communication and
138creates empathy between the various roles on a software team. For example, it can help a Manager to identify and assist
139a newly hired Developer who might be struggling to get up to speed. Or it can help Developers prove -- with data --
140to Senior Leadership how much tech debt is eroding potential development velocity.
141</p>
142<p>
143For example, here is the Diff Delta of the note-taking/to-do list app <a href="https://www.amplenote.com">Amplenote</a>, viewed
144over the last 5 years across 10 different repos in which development takes place:

147<p>
148This graph tells the story of a team that has used data to make "meta-optimizations," like consistently adopting
149integration tests to avoid dayslong debugging episodes. Accurate visual data enables consistent improvement, year after year.
150</p>
151<p>
152As the adage goes, "what gets measured improves." Since GitClear has proven that
153<a href="https://www.gitclear.com/blog/research_suggests_diff_delta_has_higher_correlation_with_
153software_effort_than_other_git_metrics">Diff Delta correlates more strongly with &quot;Completed Story Points&quot; than any other git metric</a>, 
154our customers tend to find that measuring Diff Delta boosts the number of Story Points that are completed each sprint.

158<div class='explanation_text'>
159<p>
160In order to help developers understand and improve their work, they must feel supported by management.
161We delve into the responsibility that comes with developer measurement in this essay,
162<a href="/blog/toward_developer_measurement_of_greatest_shared_benefit">Toward Developer Measurement of Greatest Shared Benefit</a>.
163</p>
164<p>
165Developers love specifics, so here five specific commitments that GitClear makes to improve life for developers:
166</p>
167<ol class='values_list'>
168<li>
169<strong>Provide dev tools to help get more done every day.</strong>
170Our headline features, <a href="https://www.gitclear.com/help/quick_start_guide_cab">Commit Activity Browser</a>
171and the <a href="/blog/introducing_file_browser_a_deeper_look_into_the_repo">Directory Browser</a>,
172were built to address pain points shared by most developers -- including our company's own developers, who rely on
173these tools daily.
174</li>
175<li>
176<strong>Improved transparency.</strong>
177<a href="https://www.gitclear.com/blog/are_we_the_best_git_diff_tool_yet_announcing_new_9_month_pricing">We built an entire diff viewer from the ground up</a>, 
178just to ensure developers can check for themselves how the nitty gritty details of Diff Delta add up.
179Other "Developer Productivity" tools are more of a black box. It's usually difficult to work out
180how individual "commits" or lines of code" contribute to the labels that get applied to developers.
181</li>
182<li>
183<strong>Consistent recognition.</strong>
184The best developers will remain underpaid until transparency emerges to illustrate the extent of their contribution.
185GitClear helps a team's "load-bearing developers" be recognized as such.
186</li>
187<li>
188<strong>Reduce unproductive meetings, increase schedule flexibility.</strong>
189The <a href="/blog/announcing_hourly_line_impact">Hourly Impact graph</a> makes clear to all
190stakeholders the costs of breaking developers' flow state with scheduled events. By a similar token,
191historical Diff Delta graphs can prove that flexible "work from home" policies often translate to measurable
192improvements in developer output compared to working from the office 100% of the time.
193</li>
194<li>
195<strong>Identify and polish one's best skills.</strong>
196Especially for junior developers, it can be hard to figure out where they "fit" relative to other team members. GitClear
197provides <a href="https://www.gitclear.com/screenshot_feature_tour#6._Who_are_the_domain_experts?">tools</a>
198to help a Junior Developer compare their velocity when working in different languages, libraries, and
199platforms. This helps them evolve to maximize their intrinsic talents.
200</li>
201</ol>
202<p>
203All members of GitClear leadership team are themselves day-to-day programmers, so you could say GitClear
204executives relate strongly to a developer's sensibilities. 🤨
205We have strong incentives to keep building more tools that save time for developers (/ ourselves),
206as made possible by Diff Delta.
207</p>
208</div>
209<h1 id='longevitiy'>🕵️ 19 Years Experience Pursuing the Hardest Problems</h1>
210<div class='explanation_text'>
211<p>
212GitClear graduated from "beta" status in 2019, but the company behind GitClear, called "<a href="https://alloy.dev">Alloy</a>,"
213has been around since 2008.
214Over its long existence, Alloy has repeatedly been named a "<a href="https://images.bonanzastatic.com/blog_assets/0000/3548/best-company.png">Best Place to Work</a>."
215In four separate years, the largest seller survey conducted online (by EcommerceBytes) has voted Alloy's
216online marketplace, Bonanza.com,
217"<a href="https://www.bonanza.com/ebay_alternative">the Best eBay Alternative marketplace</a>.
218In 2021,
219<a href="https://www.bonanza.com/ebay_alternative">10,000+ sellers voted Bonanza the marketplace they&#39;d most likely recommend to a friend (over Etsy, eBay, even Amazon)</a> 😳.
220</p>
221<p>
222Most new sites on the internet (and many of GitClear's customers 🙏) are built by companies that were funded by large sums of venture capital. The nature of VC funds is that they
223"mature" every 10 years, which puts immense pressure on the companies receiving VC capital to sell, raise a bigger round, or
224IPO within 10 years of receiving investment -- the pressure usually starts after 5 years.
225Consequently, it has become rare to see internet companies remain independent for 10+ years.
226We see this as neither good nor bad, but it has distinct implications for the type of "developer measurement" product
227that can be built, given those resource constraints.
228</p>
229<p>
230It took us 3 years of full-time internal research and development just to get Diff Delta to a point where it
231passed the sniff test of being ready to show to customers (in 2019). We have continued to improve it every month since.
232The graphs & reports you see, on GitClear and on GitClear's competitors, take at most "weeks" to implement.
233But, getting the data underneath those graphs to be fair & correct is a totally different story. It takes
234years of work, and generations of evolution. Without proper time to evolve, it's easy to end up with
235sharp-looking graphs backed by <a href="/four_worst_software_metrics_agitating_developers">half-baked data sources</a>.
236</p>
237</div>
238<h1 id='about_bill'>🤓 Who We Are</h1>
239<div class='explanation_text'>
240<p>
241GitClear is led by Programmer/CEO Bill Harding. Aside from programming, Bill's other lifelong passions are <em>measurement</em> and
242<em><a href="https://www.amplenote.com">personal productivity</a></em>.
243The thrill of measurement stems from it being integral to continuous learning & improvement.
244Trying to improve without reliable measurement is like trying to drive across the country without a map.
245To whatever extent it may be possible, it's ridiculously inefficient. The only thing worse than trying to improve
246without measurement is trying to improve with unreliable measurement.
