WakaTime offers business/enterprise licensing, where self-improvement/introspection suddenly looks exactly like corporate task management, employee surveillance, and performance metrics.
So, "leaderboard" (fun!) becomes "stack-ranking" (vicious!).
How do you see Wakana positioned and used, in practice?
* Will it be used by the individual for self-improvement and time management?
* Will metrics-crazed companies use it to whip-crack employees?
* Will even a non-corporate leaderboard/ranking be twisted and gamed for self-promotion?
I share your sentiments as a developer. That was one of my motivations for starting work on this. I wanted developers to decide and develop some of these metrics. I am not sure how exactly that looks like and I am hoping open source will help in figuring that out. In the meantime please check the faq. Developer productivity is not something that can be measured with simple metrics like time spent coding.

At the moment my only goal is for the developer to use it to track and observe work habits. All else is not really applicable at the moment.
