Episode notes
Engineering Metrics Trend
- Engineering metrics are trending as organizations seek to optimize large engineering budgets and gain transparency.
- This trend arises from a need to understand and optimize spending in a historically opaque department.
Defining DevEx
- Developer experience (DevEx) is defined as how developers think, feel, and value their work.
- It's a developer-centric approach to understanding and improving developer productivity, focusing on their lived experience.

- DORA metrics have gained popularity as an "easy button" for measuring engineering performance, providing benchmarks and a starting point.
- They offer a simple, seemingly research-backed approach, unlike subjective metrics like lines of code or commit counts.
