GitHub asked developers how their experience with the company has changed over the last six months. The survey was designed by a senior engineer who had read up online about questions like "How many times did your dev environment break?" It wasn't just qualitative, there were also numerical breakdowns and analysis of the data.
Utsav Shah, who leads Platform at Vanta and previously led Developer Effectiveness at Dropbox, shares the story of Dropbox’s journey with measuring developer productivity. Utsav discusses what he learned about both system and survey-based measures, his opinion on the usefulness of common Git metrics, and more.
