PROTECTING DEVELOPER PRIVACY

We believe in developer privacy, productivity, and happiness above all. To protect against micromanagement and potential misuse, we’ll never show an individual developer’s data without their consent. Active engineer count is used to ensure individual data isn’t accessible when filtering data down to specific groups. A group must contain at least three active engineers to show data.
