@bcherny How do you handle sharing skills, commands, etc with multiple repositories? Just check them in everywhere and do a bunch of prs on each change?

@spectrocloudinc @sleuth_io @trycourier @replicatedhq @InfluxDB @spaceliftio @OctopusDeploy @PulumiCorp @kong @gitlab @growgardenio @snyksec @Zoho @Roost @Observe_Inc My favorite comment on it - "I like it but it makes me feel uncomfortable" :)

#gluecon is a wrap! Thanks for a great conference! My slides for my talk on measuring developer productivity is here - https://t.co/uWtppGFKDy

[Don Brown @mrdonbrown]

I'll be speaking today at GlueCon on why measuring developer productivity is a terrible idea (and what to do instead). Come by and say hi!

@robqnm @sleuth_io The docs are in your account under Help -> Actions. The actions are trigger_build and trigger_slack_approval

@repus_dvorak @GergelyOrosz I interpret deployment frequency as any change to prod, including feature flags. Therefore, using progressive delivery, you can recover in seconds.

[Don Brown @mrdonbrown]

@fmueller_bln Reminds me of the maxium: if you can't rant about how your favorite programming language sucks, you don't really know it.

[Don Brown @mrdonbrown]

@sobes @GergelyOrosz @bajicdusko I don't think these are mutually exclusive. There is value in a consistently applied set of standardized metrics proven to strongly correlate to high performing teams, but also in a team taking ownership of what they track and improve.

[Don Brown @mrdonbrown]

@GergelyOrosz Measuring metrics doesn't improve anything, but it can let you know if your efforts to improve are working (and continue to work as you scale).

All the more reason to measure on the right metrics such as team output (DORA metrics) vs distractions (tickets closed)

[Don Brown @mrdonbrown]

@GergelyOrosz @bajicdusko For a high performing team, agreed you don't need DORA metrics to drive change, but they can still be useful to help track performance as the team grows and changes. Think a CPU monitor alerting on 80% cpu when you generally sit at 30%.

I'm leading my first webinar today on PR tips. Come and share your tips! https://t.co/JS99j4UHkA
