Episode notes

Vanta is growing from a pretty small team, I think around 10 to on their way to like 50 engineers. Are they already hitting a point where engineering velocity is kind of a little elusive to understand? "Without tools, there's just without like a good tool, there's no point in trying to measure it"

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.
