Heads up fam: I'm not speaking much this year to focus on my new role and new team.
When I do, I am only accepting invitations to participate in events that feature Black voices.
I'm hiring a Data Scientist! You'll define the analytical strategy for how Gemini & agentic capabilities are transforming software eng-at Google scale. You'll pioneer new methods, surface insights, & help shape how we understand AI-driven development

@Chase please figure out your app auth/verification - when it fails and you offer no other option, we get stuck. (Please also offer an option to email so I don't have to tweet.)
Finally, someone wrote it down in a book:
To understand what is going well/poorly inside your engineering org: ask the devs what this is! Talk to a bunch of them. Absolutely!
From the excellent new book by @nicolefv and @abinoda called "Frictionless"
Arrived yesterday
AI broke our developer productivity metrics.
Lines of code? Meaningless
Commits? Not the point
Velocity? Can be misleading
We need new frameworks for measuring DevEx in the age of AI.
Chapter 59 of Frictionless (w/ @abinoda) walks through exactly this: https://t.co/gbO1QAsF4S
Tech books can be hit or miss. Especially nowadays when thinking changes so quickly.
But @martinfowler provides some high praise for "Frictionless", the intriguing new book from @abinoda and @nicolefv.

@chadgptai@lennysan thank you! the tl;dr is that impact is context-dependent, but we include several examples in chapters (e.g., communicating value, metrics frameworks, and how AI changes metrics)
Congrats @nicolefv on your new book!

How do you eliminate the friction of development? #dotNETRocks and Nicole Forsgren (@nicolefv) discuss her upcoming book on eliminating the friction from software development.
