Our DPE Forum: NYC event at Nasdaq MarketSite is sold out. But given the overwhelming interest, we’ve decided to livestream the event!
So if you’re not able to join us in New York, you can still watch DPE Forum: NYC (live from Nasdaq) from wherever you are! This event is fully dedicated to the emerging practice of Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) and will take place on October 3rd from 10am to 3pm EDT.
Visit the link below when the livestream begins.
DPE Forum is a one-day event dedicated to the emerging practice of Developer Productivity Engineering. DPE empowers companies to deliver high-quality software faster by accelerating build and test feedback cycles, making troubleshooting more efficient, and improving toolchain observability.
Guest speakers include expert DPE practitioners and Developer Experience leaders from some of the most innovative engineering organizations.
Discussions will focus on success stories, lessons learned, and the highest impact tools and technologies used across software development, DevOps, and CI/CD teams.
We’re excited to host DPE Forum at one of New York’s best-known venues: Nasdaq MarketSite. Check out the iconic space that serves as the commercial marketing presence of the Nasdaq stock market. In addition to experiencing the event space, you’ll get access to the rooftop terrace at the top of the Nasdaq tower overlooking Times Square. Get inspired by the extraordinary surroundings along with our remarkable speakers.
Hans Dockter, CEO & Founder, Gradle Inc.
This keynote discusses the neuroscience of developer productivity. It provides a thought-provoking take on the psychological root causes and “cognitive fatigue” associated with developer bottlenecks like unnecessarily long feedback cycles, protracted troubleshooting times, and toolchain failures. It discusses how a lack of understanding of this dynamic leads to a misalignment between leadership’s incremental perspective on the potential impact of DPE and that of their developers who feel the cognitive pains every day and see the impact of addressing these pains as transformational. Translating the productivity benefits of removing cognitive fatigue pain into a hard business case for leadership consumption remains a challenge. But, meeting that challenge is the key to realizing the “DPE multiplier”, which is the number of times developers say they could be more effective with a more efficient toolchain (usually 2X-5X). The presentation concludes by making the connections between productivity, developer experience, and joy.
Aubrey Chipman, Senior Software Engineer, Netflix
It is well known that organizations connect software testing with software quality: making sure that the code does what it supposed to do.
Unfortunately, many organizations believe that testing is a slow process that causes stagnancy in the project. Organizations say that due to slow testing process they are not able to meet set milestones, but it doesn’t have to be this way. The testing stage is also part of the developer experience, and making it such that engineers are productive and continue delivering software not only fast but with confidence is crucial.
In this talk, we will explore a few approaches that we are taking in order to deliver a more consistent and delightful testing experience for JVM engineers at Netflix. The end goal: speed up engineers’ feedback loop by running tests locally constantly as much as possible.
Brian Houck, Principal Productivity Engineer, Microsoft
Unlocking the productive potential of your teams is about more than just software tools, it's about shifting the focus back to the driving force behind it all: the developers themselves. Join us for a discussion on how Microsoft uses a blend of research techniques to build an understanding of the human factors that impact developer productivity, and what they do about it.
We'll share the practical tips and strategies that our teams use to measurably improve their developer experiences. What is the empirical impact of meetings on developer productivity? How do different hybrid work policies change job satisfaction? How much does dealing with bureaucratic toil make developers want to quit? What is the #1 most frequently cited workplace challenge amongst developers across the entire industry? Learn the answers to these questions and more!
