>>2313I've seen this before with a client back when we were migrating their entire legacy backend. If you can't change the metrics, start feeding them
false positives by scheduling automated tasks or scripts to run during your breaks. It keeps your activity logs looking steady even when you're away from the keyboard. This works great for basic idle detection software but it won't save you if they're actually watching screen captures or live video. You still need to find a way to show progress on something
tangible so the numbers don't drop too sharply. Just don't get cocky with it because once they start looking at actual output quality, the trick is useless.
