Episode notes

The practice of surveying and measuring. Yes. What we're going to do is help, usually this DevEx person, person of one, team of one, sees a lot of problems. And so what I think a method like ours can do for that person is to give them data to wake everyone else up. That's really the goal. If you can't do that, you're not going to get in. So anyways, that's, that's what we hope. We hope to be able to provide.

This week Adam is joined by Abi Noda, founder and CEO of DX to talk about DX AKA DevEx (or the long-form Developer Experience). Since the dawn of software development there has been this push to understand what makes software teams efficient, but more importantly what does it take to understand developer productivity? That’s what Abi has been focused on for the better part of the last 8 years of his career. He started a company called Pull Panda that was acquired by GitHub, spent a few years there on this problem before going out on his own to start DX which helps startups to the fortune 500 companies gather real insights that leads to real improvement.
