New premium post: Doing more with less, part 1: Improving the developer experience

developer experience

I’ve just published a new premium article Doing more with less, part 1: Improving the developer experience. The end of zero interest rates (ie. free money) means that businesses need to tighten their belts. As a result, engineering leaders need to do more with less. This article is the first in a series of articles that describe how to do just that. The article describes how engineering teams significantly improve their productivity by improving the developer experience (DevEx).
