Session Details
What Makes a Great Developer Experience?
Having a great developer experience boils down to three key points: speeding up iteration cycles, improving developer focus time, and reducing cognitive load. But what does that really mean, practically, in an actual business? What do you really _do_ to accomplish those things? And how do you overcome all the technical and human barriers to solve it? I can’t tell you all the answers in 30 minutes, but I think you’ll be surprised at how much we _can_ cover about the most important pieces, in that time frame.
