SNCC has never had a developer experience team or productivity team. So it's kind of like forging a path for hopefully more of those kind of teams to come. The reason why I chose developer experience in the end is because I felt like it kind of encapsulates the spirit of what we want to do. It's try and improve the lives of our engineers, make their lives better,. develop faster, have more joy in their day-to-day work as well.
In this episode Abi Noda is joined by Crystal Hirschorn, who leads Platform Infrastructure, SRE, and Developer Experience at Snyk. In their conversation, Crystal shares the story behind the recently founded Developer experience group, including why they named the team Developer Experience, how she calculates the cost of the problems they solve, and how they partner with engineering teams.
