Git Archaeology #8 — Engineering Relativity: Why the Same Engineer Gets Different Scores

Git 고고학 #8 — 엔지니어링 상대성: 같은 엔지니어가 다른 점수를 받는 이유

Why it matters

The article explores how the same engineer receives different EIS (Engineering Impact Score) scores across different codebases, analogous to how gravity varies between planets. Mature codebases with strong existing architecture make it harder to earn high scores, while structurally weak codebases allow new contributors to quickly become influential. This 'Engineering Relativity' means EIS is not an absolute measure of ability but a product of the interaction between an engineer and a codebase's gravitational field.
