Cto's Journey to Developer Productivity
The CTO and co-founder of a productivity tool for developers shares his extensive experience in software development, having transitioned from coding to managing teams. Over two decades, he identified the common challenges developers face, particularly in information sharing and maintaining consistent code quality.
