Engineers have always been terrible at measuring productivity. Building a new internal tool or writing a bunch of code is not necessarily productive.

Productivity is something that creates business value. In that sense an engineer who writes 10 lines of code but that code solves a $10M business problem or allows the company to sign 100 new customers may be the most productive engineer in your organization.
