How to prioritize developer happiness over everything? While tracking metrics is important, ensuring developer happiness should be the ultimate goal. It's not just about the tools or metrics; it's about how developers feel about their work. In episode 3 of DevLogue, Chris Stump from Airspace highlights the critical balance between metrics and developer happiness. He explains that making changes is futile if developers are not satisfied. Chris points out that while DORA metrics are a valuable starting point, they must be adapted to meet the unique needs of the team. By surveying the team, Chris and his colleagues gained insights into their feelings about the pipeline, leading to actionable improvements. This approach not only facilitated the tracking of DORA metrics but also boosted team confidence and fostered positive sentiments towards the development process and Airspace as a whole.
