I'm not for or against in this case. I'm anti what Redis the company is doing but I don't give a crap otherwise.

Are we really counting contribution based on LoC? Haven't we over the decades decided that isn't valid? Guess every person that makes this claim should once again have their performance based on LoC...

Some simple examples, I'm not saying this is the case though. What if most of Amazon's contributions are high impact contributions where most of Redis orgs are simply maintenance or feature pushes. What if the same is true for a 1% contributor?

By your own statement doesn't Tencent then have a larger claim to redis that Amazon or Redis does?




> Are we really counting contribution based on LoC?

I think they didn't include the LoC in the article as anything other than a broad estimate of contributions, perhaps for lack of any better measurements.
