Do not measure developer productivity
In this special episode (50th) I’ll tell you a bit about the research on developer experience and developer productivity that kept me so busy this year. You will learn about: - some history of productivity-focused thinking - new productivity research like the Space Framework that helps understand and measure developer productivity - the difference to the Developer Experience framework that I co-created - why (IMHO) metrics and a productivity-driven mindset can be problematic for your culture and long-term success - and what you should focus on instead.
