“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!

@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?

[Developer to Manager @devtomanager]

@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?

[Developer to Manager @devtomanager]

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? 📊
