Coding time is one of the most interesting engineering execution metrics to track over time. Since you want your PR Sizes to be small and your deployment frequency to be high, you want to make sure coding time isn’t increasing by a significant margin. If your coding time does spike, that is likely an indicator of larger issues down the pipeline.
Time to merge refers to how long it takes for work to be merged, starting from the first commit.
