Performance
Key patterns and highlights from this developer's activity.
Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
No bugs introduced or fixed in this period.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.
The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

| 7643fc9 | This commit **fixes critical issues** with **`.next` directory handling** in the **`with-docker` and `with-docker-bun` Next.js examples**. It **removes a problematic BuildKit cache mount** on `.next/cache` from `examples/with-docker/Dockerfile` that trapped the fetch cache, making it unreachable by the runner stage. To ensure a writable prerender cache, it **restores `mkdir .next && chown` commands** in the runner stage of both `examples/with-docker/Dockerfile` and `examples/with-docker/Dockerfile.bun`. This **maintenance** work ensures these Docker examples build and run correctly, with updated documentation and an opt-in for persisting the build-time fetch cache. | Feb 27 | 4 | – |
