IDEAS & INSIGHTS

InfoWorld: From the 10x developer to the 10x team

What do Bigfoot and a 10x developer have in common? Sightings of either are very rare and not definitive. In this article, Gradle Inc. founder and CEO Hans Dockter, contrasts the traditional and modern approach to scaling developer productivity. Instead of a focus on increasing individual output by growing 10x developer talent, teams should embrace DPE as the modern technology approach that leverages engineered solutions to improve team outcomes.

BEST PRACTICES

CI quality of service at scale topics debated on the season premier of DevProdEng Showdown

In the latest DPE Showdown, we discuss CI quality of service topics with centralized CI teams from Netflix, Slack, Uber, and Gradle. Get bite-sized answers from our expert panelists to interesting and practical questions such as "What are best practices application developers should leverage to triage their PR failures?" Here’s a sneak peak at the answers shared:

  1. Take a deep breath, read error messages patiently, check if there are outages or issues with other PRs.

  2. Retry the build on both CI and your local machine, search for known issues, articulate a detailed report.

  3. Shift left and run tests locally first, combine this with detailed telemetry and failure history to identify the root cause.

  4. Use structured logging, be very clear about dependencies, and use tools that are well supported.

The winning answer by vote of the audience was #3. Watch the on-demand recording to hear more provocative questions and interesting answers.
