Developer productivity is waste

By Michael Coté

Elevator Pitch

We’re developer productivity obsessed, worse, developer productivity METRICS obsessed. Deployment frequency! MTTR! eNPS! It’s become a delightful distraction. Besides, who really benefits from this focus? This talk makes the case that we should focus more on actual craft and less on metrics.

Description

In this talk, I’ll first give an overview of the latest in developer productivity metrics. Second, I’ll go over some techniques to avoid descending into metrics madness. Finally, I’ll go over what we should be paying more attention to instead of productivity.

Notes

Thanks for taking the time to consider my talk :)
