Episode notes

We operate in these incredibly complex sociotechnical systems. Throwing more people into that corner is very unlikely to help, and it's very likely to make things worse. Just adding people is not what actually helps you. We 're so wasteful with the engineering cycles that we have have you ays,. read that this striped developer report came out. I te ye, look right where they're like, oudon developer self report that forty three per cent of their time is just wasted. Like half your time is just, like, straight up, straight up wasted. And why is this at the top of our list of like things to like be concerned about if engineering cycles are

Charity Majors, co-founder, and CTO of honeycomb.io, joins us to talk about everything that's wrong with engineering cycles, how throwing money at the problem by hiring more people is making it worse, and what we can do about it.

Find out:

How to create systems that increase software engineering productivity,
Which toolsets can enable shorter feedback loops,
How elite teams have figured it out,
How infrastructure engineering is key to all of this and more!
