What Causes Productivity to Go Down?

Being productive is obviously a good thing.
 Can we measure it?
 Should we measure it?
 There's been failed attempts, like lines of code, etc. in the past.
 Currently, there are new tools to measure productivity, like using git metrics.

Nick Hodges joins the show to discuss the good and the bad of developer and team productivity, including how we can improve productivity.
