Fact: You can’t become better at anything unless you understand what getting better would actually look like. This is especially true in the case of engineering teams.
Following the analysis of 2,000 dev teams and over 4 million code branches, the 2023 Engineering Benchmarks report is out.
Remote, hybrid, or in-office? Opinions are divided on what has quickly become one of the most controversial topics in tech: Should we return to the office, and if so, how and when?
On this week’s episode of Dev Interrupted, we sit down with Duolingo’s Sr. Director of Engineering, Fabio Lessa, to discuss how to successfully transition your engineering org back to the office — and why Duolingo has done it so successfully. [Hint: it all starts with culture.]
Engineers make great entrepreneurs. So a startup that has two engineers as its founders must be twice as good, right? Not exactly.
On this week's episode of Dev Interrupted, we talk to Jake Lumetta, founder and CEO of ButterCMS. A serial entrepreneur, Jake found success (and failure) with numerous startups before striking it big with ButterCMS.
"Is my team solving the right problem?"
To answer this seemingly simple question, we assembled a panel of some of the smartest engineering leaders we know and asked them how they answer this question with their own teams.
Live from Interact, we're bringing you an interview with our favorite CTO, Charity Majors.
Never one to be shy about speaking her mind, Charity is an outspoken advocate for devs everywhere — and this passion made her a fan favorite at Interact.
Despite the workflow improvements that have been made with CI/CD, there are huge bottlenecks found in the pull request and code review process. These bottlenecks can be removed with continuous merge, a set of processes that make pull requests easier to pick up and code reviews quicker to merge.
Let's look deeper into what continuous merge is and why it's needed
Where has all the focus time gone? Why does there seem to be less of it at big companies than at startups? And do managers really have as little as they claim?
It should come as no surprise to our listeners that we're big fans of data here at Dev Interrupted. The coolest thing about having Dan Kador, VP of Engineering at Clockwise, on the show is that he brings data we already intuitively understood but could not quantify.
The branching strategy has been reimagined. Meet the mind behind it.
In his first-ever podcast appearance, Rouan Wilsenach, author of "Ship/Show/Ask: A Modern Branching Strategy," joins Dev Interrupted to talk about his work as an author and the inspiration behind his musings on branching strategy. Rouan has been more than an inspiration, he’s changed the way our dev teams work - and he might just change yours, too. If you haven’t already read "Ship/Show/Ask," you should. It’s one of the most influential articles we’ve read in years.
Everyone who manages a team would like to think that their employees admire them as individuals and as leaders. That you make an impact on those employees while they work under you and long after you end up moving to new companies and opportunities.
One such engineering leader who has mastered the mix of manager, friend and mentor is Carolyn Vo. A Partner and Head of Engineering at Oliver Wyman, Carolyn is one of engineering’s leading advocates of the benefits of creating a culture of approachability, tinkering and healthy levity.
In the last decade there have been enormous advances in infrastructure and ops, so why does it suck to build stuff?
That’s the question Tanmai Gopal kept asking himself before founding his company, Hasura. Now, as Hasura’s CEO he’s channeling his chaotic energy in order to solve this problem.
As an engineer, you might have learned the basics from textbooks or watched a series of tutorials.
Managing engineers is different and isn’t something that can be mastered by simply reading a book.
When you think of a billion-dollar tech company, you probably imagine rooms full of monitors with dashboards and non-stop data streams.
Well, after talking to Hippo - a certified unicorn and newly minted giant in the insurance industry - we realized this couldn’t be further from the truth.
