I've had the privilege to know Max Kanat-Alexander for the last year through our Hangar DX community, and since then I've learned so much about DevEx him. Max is the author of Code Simplicity, was a TL at Google who defined the code review guidelines and was also the Chief architect of the Bugzilla project. I recently chatted with him about the Developer Productivity and Happiness framework that LinkedIn published last year. There are so many nuggets in that podcast that we may have to do a volume 2. Listen to the full episode on YT, Spotify or Apple podcasts: https://lnkd.in/dtAwVgBy Some takeaways: - There cannot be developer productivity without developer happiness - Iteration time and context switching are key concepts that impact developer productivity. - Understanding and catering to different personas of developers is crucial for effective developer productivity efforts. - It's significantly more important to understand what to measure than how to measure it. Most teams fall into the trap of measuring the wrong metrics. #developerproductivity #developerhappiness Checkout the Hangar DX community at https://dx.community We are hosting a Zoom session with William Howell from Okta this Thursday at 11am PDT!
