Why the 10x developer is BS with Emily Freeman
The 10X engineer. Master of the Universe. Builder of worlds. Myth.
The idea of the 10x engineer has lived throughout Silicon Valley for years. Companies have been trying to find and hire these titans of industry for years. But, they have been looking for these developers in the wrong place.
Instead of spending time trying to find these engineers, companies should have been focused on how they 10X their engineering org by improving the developer experience. 10X your DevEx and you’ll start to see more gains than if you hired one of these all-powerful engineers.
So, why should you care about DevEx, how can you measure it, and how can you start to improve it?
Emily Freeman, best-selling author and Head of Community at AWS, shares her experiences with developer experience, from measuring it to enacting it — and doing both successfully.
