@superpatty also, would you like to share your thoughts on the developer to manager transition on our site? 🙂 We do the interviews async so we can work everything out depending on your availability. Thanks!
“Sometimes it's better not to know the details of the tech in order to ask the simple but effective questions to move a project forward, let alone move someone else's career forward.” - @zeitgeist_y2k (Team Lead at @XING_de)

@superpatty @zeitgeist_y2k @XING_de from an IC perspective, nothing is more helpful (while working on a tricky problem) than a coworker or a manager offering to be a rubber duck. 🦆
“I very well understand where my interests lie, which is being an enabler first and then a creator rather than being a creator/ maker 100%.” - @anandsafi (Engineering Manager at @mark43)

@MarcLittlemore agree completely on the collaborative documents. Writing things down forces you to think, which in turn can lead to a better overall result (trying hard here not to generalize).
For everyone who created a blog with good intentions, but didn't manage to stick to writing regularly:
Not every article has to be a 5000 word epic.
Share your thoughts. Explore ideas. Share quotes or inspiration.
3 or 3000 words, it doesn't matter. Just write!

At Yelp, engineering managers are responsible for the health, execution, and vision of their team. In this post, two of our engineering VPs discuss what it means to be accountable for the health of a team and how we support growth for our management teams. https://t.co/wXiVAbKpZ3
@ShawnAxsom nice! Funny, right now I’m looking into numbers that internal platform teams can use to measure developer happiness and this tweet shows up in the timeline. 🙂
I’m curious - is this from a public survey or something internal?
@jamespmoriarty these are great! They seem to focus mainly on engineering efficiency though (which btw is a great proxy for developer experience/happiness).
Are there any metrics that come to mind which track developer happiness directly?
How do you measure developer experience inside your company? The state of internal tooling, do the devs have what they need to get work done, …
Are there any specific metrics you focus on? 📊
