<p>It is being used in performance reviews, source: recent Amazon SWE.<p>They also use a bunch of dumb metrics like, total PRs submitted, total comments made on PRs, etc. To the point that, there are multiple heavily used internal tools to game these metrics. Eg, auto-comment LGTM on any approved PR. Thus, making the metrics even worse than they would have been prior.</p>

<p>Random person jumping in to say, the original comment from 'Bender' is what is agreed with by almost every human I've spoken to. It is most definitely the take of every parent in my social circle, the vast majority of whom are outside of the tech space.<p>The issue you're describing is strictly one of parenting, and not one that can or should be handled via some government agency. Their (Bender's) suggestion is actually the best that I've seen for handling this issue, and the only one I believe those I know would all happily agree with.<p>On a side note, this entire comment of yours is very unhinged. I'd wager you're far far far from being aware of the 'reality most parents live in today', based off of what you've said here.</p>

<p>Yea, this seems so incredibly wrong to me. How somebody can write that, and not reel from comprehending the implications of what they're doing to their child, is so far beyond me.</p>

<p>> The worker got confused and put it on my sandwich.<p>No, this is where you're completely and totally incorrect. There is no 'worker accidentally making a human mistake that costs you money' here. This is a 'multi-billion dollar company routinely runs scripts that they KNOW cost you money, but do it anyways because it generates profit for them'. To fix your example,<p>You <i>RUN</i> a Subway that sells sandwiches. Your lettuce provider charges you $1 per piece of lettuce. Your average customer is given $1 worth of lettuce in their sub. One customer keeps coming in, reaching over the counter, and grabbing handfuls of lettuce. You cannot ban this customer because they routinely put on disguises and ignore your signs saying 'NO EXTRA LETTUCE'. Eventually this bankrupts you, forces you to stop serving lettuce in your subs entirely, or you have to put up bars (eg, Cloudflare) over your lettuce bins.</p>

<p>> The problem here isn't the crawlers,<p>One of the worst takes I've seen. Yes, that's expensive, but the individuals doing insane amounts of unnecessary scraping are the problem. Let's not act like this isn't the case.</p>
