This is a silly thumbnail-sized model, and it’s full of all kinds of holes.
Maybe devs straight-up waste 3 hours a day, so then payoff is Y < 1.25 instead! Maybe the effects are complex and nonlinear! Maybe this whole quantification effort is doomed!
Don’t take my math too seriously. I’m not actually setting up a useful predictive model here; I’m making a point.
